When our client approached us for her daughter’s birthday, there was one very clear brief — she’s a massive Potterhead. This wasn’t going to be just another Harry Potter themed decor birthday party with a few themed props. It had to be an experience.

And so began one of our most ambitious transformations to date. From a bare banquet hall inside a luxury apartment complex, we created an entire wizarding world — right from the cobblestones of Diagon Alley to the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Every single element was conceptualised, custom-built, and produced by us.

📘 From Moodboard to A Magical Harry Potter Birthday Party

Our creative journey started with a detailed moodboard — visualising every space, every installation, and every activity. The vision was clear: kids should feel like they’d just walked into Hogwarts.

🌳 The Forbidden Forest — Recreated Indoors

We designed and produced towering trees, layered foliage, and pockets of wild greenery to recreate the Forbidden Forest. Spanning the length of the hall, this forest was filled with hidden creatures, ambient mist, and enchanting lighting. Kids wandered through, wands in hand, uncovering clues, spotting Buckbeak, and navigating an immersive treasure hunt.

🏘️ Diagon Alley Comes Alive

Then came Diagon Alley, brought to life with hand-crafted storefronts —Ollivanders where kids picked their wands, Quality Quidditch Supplies to grab brooms, and Madam Malkin’s for Hogwarts robes. Every store was interactive, with custom-designed facades, signage, and props.

🏰 Dining in the Hogwarts Great Hall

At the heart of it all was the Hogwarts Great Hall — complete with banquet-style tables, wooden benches, floating candles, house banners, and candelabras. A feast fit for witches and wizards, accompanied by a specially curated menu of magical treats.

💟 Activities Designed for the Ultimate Potterhead

Beyond the installations, the experience came alive through carefully curated activities:

Potions Class — where kids mixed vibrant elixirs and experimented with ingredients.
Herbology Workshop — hands-on planting of magical herbs in tiny pots.
Wizard Hat Ring Toss — a playful challenge that blended fun and friendly competition.
Quidditch Rings — a themed toss game inspired by the iconic sport.
The Treasure Hunt — guiding kids through the Forbidden Forest, solving riddles and uncovering secrets.

🎭 The Finishing Touches

Every detail, from the lighting design to sound effects, from costumes to curated keepsakes, was produced and managed by us.

What started as an empty banquet hall became a sprawling, enchanting world — a fully immersive Harry Potter birthday party, and one that the birthday girl, her friends, and even the adults couldn’t stop talking about.

At Atelier17, we love creating magic. And this time, we got to live it too.
