closeYou're merely a Muggle, but that doesn't mean you can't throw a Harry Potter party that's full of magic. Start with cupcakes that look like Harry, Ron, Hermione and Voldemort. Throw in chocolate frogs, peppermint toads and cockroach clusters. Then raise frothy mugs of butterbeer to toast the arrival of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the final installment of J.K. Rowling's series, which goes on sale at midnight Friday.
While you're scarfing down the sweets, quiz one another on Harry Potter food facts, and be grateful that you haven't encountered any of the varieties of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans that our readers dreamed up.
The recipes will add up to a feast worth serving in Hogwarts Great Hall -- no wand required.
SHOPPING NOTES
For the candy frogs and toads, you'll need molds and chocolate. Michaels and A.C. Moore have some supplies. Find specialized molds on Amazon.com. Locally, the frog molds and a complete selection of colored chocolate can be found at P-Wee's Creations, 3005 S. Austin Drive, Garner, 550-9122 or pweescreat@aol.com.
