Wizarding Academy

The academy has been watching, and tonight it sends for them by name.

A school of magic assembles itself in your home for one night: a welcome letter that calls the child (or children) by name, teams with their own colors and values, lessons in light and levitation, a potion bench that actually does something, and a final academy challenge the whole class faces together before lights-out.

Wizarding Academy sleepover setup — a printable welcome sign, velvet teepees with monogrammed cushions, lanterns, potion bottles and hanging banners in a magical academy scene.
The moment they'll talk about

At the moment you choose, the academy calls for the potion.

At the signature moment the class opens the sealed Mystery Envelope and reads the mission card naming the potion the academy needs tonight. They hunt the hidden ingredients through the house and work out the order, and at the moment they get the sequence right the mixture changes colour, scent or shimmer in front of them.

Every wizard has a story, and this night is the chapter where theirs begins. The emotional core is not the props: it is being chosen, and then being trusted with something that matters.

Inside the experience

What the night includes

  • A themed welcome moment : Students are met at the door with a printable academy welcome letter, a passport bearing their name, and a printable name tag, plus a fold-and-tuck house folder they assemble to keep everything the night gives them.
  • The lessons and challenges : Spell challenges (Lumen for light, Levitas for lift, Aurora for color) plus enchanted lessons, secret messages and a potion class, with the host guide marking where to simplify for younger guests and where to add challenge for older ones.
  • Food and drink ideas : A long candlelit banquet table, color-changing academy punch, cauldron-style sharing bowls and a bedtime cocoa served by lantern light, with swaps listed for picky eaters and every common allergy.
  • Shared printables and decorations : Spell challenge cards and lesson cards handed out at the right moments, so the curriculum unfolds through the evening rather than arriving all at once.

Your party guide opens on any device, and you can print any page of it. The printable pieces are inside your guide, ready to download and print. It's written for a group of up to 16 guests, and the Everything you'll print list in Start here shows which pages to print and how many copies.

Included with every guide

The party, and the whole night after it.

3 to 4 hours

Party Experience

A complete themed party from the first guest through pickup. Run it on its own and everyone heads home at a sensible hour.

Included with every guide

Sleepover Addition

Pajamas, movie and lounge time, snacks, bedtime, a slow morning, breakfast and pickup, all planned the same way the evening was. Use it when guests are staying over.

Not every night needs the overnight. Use it when guests are staying and skip it when they're not.

How it fits

Guided, Classic or Independent

Same night, 3 levels of host support. You pick the one that fits the group in front of you, and you can switch between them at any point in the evening.

More support

Guided

You explain more, demonstrate more, check in more often, and stay hands-on throughout. Good for a younger group, a first sleepover, or guests who don't know each other yet.

Balanced support

Classic

You introduce what guests need to know, help where it's useful, then give them room to take part on their own. Start here if you're not sure.

More guest independence

Independent

You set the expectations, the hygiene and the safety boundaries clearly, then let guests run more of the night themselves while you stay available.

Different guests can need different levels on the same night, and you never announce which one you're using. Guests just experience the night.

Before the night

What you will need

A phone, tablet or computer to open your guide, a printer and regular paper for the printables, scissors, and a short shopping list of inexpensive supplies. Your guide scales the quantities to your group. Cardstock is worth it for the pieces kids wave around all night if you have it, but regular paper works for everything.

Questions about Wizarding Academy

They are designed for a kitchen table with a cloth on it. Everything is built from ordinary food-safe cupboard items (the color changes, fizzes and shimmer all come from things you can pick up with the weekly shop) and each activity is marked as look-and-smell rather than drink. We tell you what to lay down, what to do it over, and how long the cleanup honestly takes.

Nothing is required. The academy supplies the identity in print: the letter, the passport, the name tag and the badge, all printed at home, so children arrive already belonging. If you want a dressing-up element, the guide includes simple make-at-home ideas so no guest turns up feeling underdressed or out of pocket.

That is a very common mix, and it is written for. The sceptics get the puzzles, ciphers and the surprising-but-explainable science of the potion bench; the believers get the story, the letters and the wonder. Both groups end up on the same team for the final challenge, which is usually where the eye-rolling quietly stops.

Yes, and that's how it's written by default. Battery lanterns and flameless candles carry the whole candlelit look, and the lighting guidance is built around them. If you do want real flame somewhere, the guide marks the one place it works, supervised and well away from the children's working space.

The academy has its own teams, each with a color, an emblem and one of its 4 values: curiosity, courage, kindness and magic. The team cards are blank so you place the children yourself, and the host guide walks you through it: who to separate, who needs a role of their own, and how to hand the teams out so it never looks random.

Questions about the party guide

Your private link arrives by email within 7 days of your order, often sooner. You can get a full refund any time before then.

As much or as little as you want. You can print any page of your guide, and your invitations, signs and game pieces are inside the guide, ready to download and print. The Everything you'll print list in Start here shows every printable by step, so you can pick the pieces that fit your night and skip the rest. Print the essentials this year and come back for the extras next time.

No. Everything works on a regular home printer and regular paper. A few pieces hold up better on cardstock, especially cut-out cards and props, because kids wave those around all night. That's a nice-to-have, not a requirement.

That's exactly who it's written for. The guide walks the night in order, gives a duration for each part, and gives you the words to say. You're never asked to make something up on the spot.

Ages 8 through tween, in one guide. This age range is where the activities actually land: old enough to run parts of the night themselves, young enough to still love the whole thing. The guide shows you where to add more support or more independence depending on the guest.

Everything you download or print is yours to keep and use for your own family's parties, forever. Your private link expires 12 months after we send it, so download what you want to keep before then.

Yes. Print any page of your guide, and the printables you download, as many times as you want for your own family's parties. Please don't resell them, share them, or use them to run parties as a business.
