Harry Potter Party: Potions Class


Truth be told, this was probably the coolest class we taught—thanks in no small part to my husband's ability to play a (kinder, gentler) Snape....and the wicked cool (drinkable!) Felix Felicis Potion we dreamed up.

Here's the how to do it:

Felix Felicis (a potion that brings you good luck in anything you try)

1 cup moondew (AKA lemon-lime soda)

1 tsp. phoenix tears (lemon juice with a little yellow food coloring)

1 tsp. powdered bicorn horn (baking soda mixed with a packet of KoolAid mix)

1 tbsp. dried boom berries (PopRocks)


We added some yellow food coloring to make the lemon juice pop a bit more, and my husband found that adding the bicorn horn (AKA a mix of baking soda and KoolAid powder) last made for an impressive finish. The potion would in turns: turn yellow (adding the lemon juice), start to pop and fizz (the Pop Rocks), turn red and fizz like crazy (the baking soda/KoolAid combo). And apparently, it tasted pretty darned good, too!
