How To | Hogwarts Express and 9 3/4 signage

Harry Potter· JK Rowling· Props

8 Oct

How you introduce your guests to your house sets the tone for the rest of the evening.

The magic begins at Platform 9 3/4! Quickly print off this free downloadable sign and make them believe at your next Harry Potter party.

The inspiration

The Hogwarts Express signage

harry potter hogwarts dinner party- how to make 9 3/4 and hogwarts express signage

To put this together first start by printing the Hogwarts Express signage onto A3 paper.  Hogwarts Express signage (17251 downloads)

To make it 3D, the signage was sliced down so just a bit of white border was left, and the signage attached to both sides of foamboard.

To finish it off, a long pieces of square balsa wood were attached around the whole border of the signage, both sides, and painted with gold paint.

To attach it to the wall, a metal frame (from memory originally supposed to be shelf support?) was attached to the signage, using a foam sticky tape (serious hardcore holding ability). A hook took the majority of the support, and the foam tape held the metal frame in place.

 

The 9 3/4 signage

The second piece of signage is the 9 3/4 sign, which we placed at the front of the property into the ground.

For this, print the below signage

Attach to black foamboard (glue tape works well) and cut out with an x acto knife.

Attach the foamboard sign to a second metal frame, first with a strip of foam tape. Then to make sure it was solidly attached, I ran black fabric tape around as a strip that attached the foamboard with the metal frame so no wind would knock it down.

Use first foamtape, then wrap with black fabric tape to a black wooden pole.

Stick in the ground, and like in our case, hang a lantern with a flameless candle in.

I love love love Dr Seuss' illustrations, so I use I love love love Dr Seuss' illustrations, so I used a How The Grinch Stole Christmas book to easily (and cheaply) decorate my kitchen wall this year. Baroque style photo frames made them that bit fancier!⁣

What a Halloween that was! 🎃 Incredibly gratef What a Halloween that was! 🎃
Incredibly grateful that we were able to celebrate, even though we did things a little differently. 
With a spider theme in mind, my parent's house was covered with a mixture of white weed mat and cheesecloth. The faux spiderweb material we only used on branches, since the darn stuff is sticky and a nightmare to remove! 🕷️🕸️
Kudos to mom who did the majority of the work, adding in faux dead leaves, branches and trees, turning springtime into one magical night of autumn. Dad was in charge of sound effects and lighting.
Typically we hide as characters or creatures in the garden which slows the kids as they come up to the door, giving them time to look around. They can never tell if something is going to move or not!
Being 2020 though, the 'tension' of coming up to the house was broken because the witches were outside. We placed ourselves at a table with an entrance and exit pathway, reminding them to "stay one broomstick apart"! Let's hope next Halloween we're back to 'normal'. We'll have to make up with some extra scares! 🎃  📸 Photos by our Halloween photographer, dad 😉

'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration 'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration for our yard haunt back in 2016. Of course, we had to have him in a field of cornstalks... a tricky task when you live in Australia and it's actually coming into springtime!  Dried banana leaves, with its leaves shredded, were tied to old stick fencing. Lit from below, you would've believed the headless horseman was somewhere nearby. 🎃  #halloweenyardhaunt #Halloween

Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- a small action that makes an ordinary moment meaningful. It's our way of acknowledging, enjoying, being excited, even grateful, for 'right now'. In years like this one, where we can find ourselves wishing for 2020 to be over, it can be even more important for  these moments. ⁣
So instead of focusing on how I found myself time-warped from early September to the end of October, I'm going to simply celebrate the best week of October.⁣
⁣
200 years ago, Washington Irving published his short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Some homemade decorations like a Sleepy Hollow sign, faux 'cornstalks' mixed with some storebought decorations have my house filled with October vibes to celebrate the bicentennial. 🎃⁣

[BILBO BAGGINS’ BUTTERED SCONES] It’s been qu [BILBO BAGGINS’ BUTTERED SCONES]  It’s been quite a year… but I couldn’t miss celebrating Hobbit Day!  Mixing up a batch of Bilbo’s buttered scones is an easy way to start the morning off right (and doable before work).  I’ve also jumped back onto Youtube to make these alongside you, but- and I guess this reflects the year- I’m changing up my approach to videos. I’ve relaxed my style, and slowed my pace to capture the comfort of baking and cooking that I love so much.  #lotr #lordoftherings #thehobbit #thelordoftherings #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth #hobbitday #bookworm #hobbitweek #foodinliterature #bilbobaggins
In the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shad In the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even darkness must pass.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A new day will come.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those were the stories that stayed with you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That meant something.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if you were too small to understand why.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because they were holding on to something.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
