This is a great activity for young Harry Potter fanatics.

Preparation
  • You'll need:

    • Crayons, colored pencils, markers, pens
    • Pieces of parchment paper 

    How to Prepare Your Own Parchment Paper:
    • Prepare freshly brewed (and very strong) coffee, a baking pan, drying rack, newspapers (or paper towels), candle, and sheets of paper
    • Pour coffee into a baking pan
    • Take sheets of 8.5"x11" paper and soak them one by one in the pan of coffee. (about 15 minutes)
    • Once the piece of paper has turned colors, dry it out on a drying rack. Be sure to put newspapers or paper towels beneath the rack to catch and drips.
    • After they've dried, you have parchment-like paper!
    • For an extra "old" effect, light a candle and very carefully burn the edges of your piece of paper.

Steps
  • Have party guests follow these general directions of what we do know about Hogwarts on the Marauder's Map:
    • The lake is to the south of Hogwarts
    • The forest is to the west of Hogwarts
      • The Whomping Willow should have a secret passageway
