The Buffet
When you set the tables for your Harry Potter Halloween Party, label three tables for your buffet. The one holding the treats is Honeydukes, the table with the savory selections is The Leaky Cauldron, and the bar is the Three Broomsticks. I've tried to select recipes that most closely represent the food and beverages enjoyed by the students and teachers at Hogwarts (with a few additions to round things out!) Feel free to add to your buffet any additional ghoulish Halloween recipes from the links at the end of this feature.

Send your guests home with broomsticks (either life-size or the small craft variety), and magic wands either purchased in a magic shop or children's costume store, or that you have created yourself.
