Annual Hogwarts Party at the Gilberts

For the second year in a row, our friends the Gilberts threw a Harry Potter themed Halloween party. And let's just say they went above and beyond the expected.
If you can't tell, the sandwich snake is really a Basilisk. There were pizza witches hats, chocolate cauldron cakes, pumpkin pasties,
cookies shaped like Grifindor quiditch players,
mandrakes made of powdered sugar and peanut butter (they looked so real and gross that I'm not sure anyone really ate them- the kids wouldn't even touch them).
Sadly no ear piercing screams when plucked from their "soil".
All sorts of potions to try.
Their apartment was decked out with every other Harry Potter thing you could think of from flying brooms, to Scabbers the rat. They had even painted "the chamber of secrets is open" on their wall in glow in the dark paint.
Truly over the top and an excellent party!
