Harry Potter Party at the Kenton County Public LibraryRecently we attended a Harry Potter Party hosted by the fine librarians at the Covington Branch of the Kenton County Public Library.  They went to great lengths to make this a memorable evening for all of the children and families attending.  I had thought going in that the party would consist of a craft or two and some photo opps, I had no idea just how many things they had planned to entertain us.  There was everything from crafts to costumes to snakes to games.  They were also showing a Harry Potter movie and serving snacks.   My boys were in Harry Potter heaven.  I snapped some pictures while they made the rounds at the party, I’m hoping they will be inspiration for future Harry Potter parties at our house and yours!
