Our Hogsmeade Village included: The Three Broomsticks, Honeydukes, Ollivander's wand shop, and potions supplies shop.
Everyone received a bag of coins to buy their supplies for the night. We "charged" for the wands, potion supplies, butterbeer, pumpkin juice and candy from Honeydukes. We had a muggle favorite for dinner, Pizza!

I used A Crafty Chick blog's tutorial on making the wand boxes. I was making 32 boxes and didn't want to use fabric, so I covered the inside with colored constructions paper and filled the boxes with colored tissue paper.

Advanced Potion Making Booklets
I found the Advanced Potion Making book cover and the first few pages of the book on the internet. I then created recipes for the kids to use to make their potions for potion class. I glued the book cover to construction paper to give it more heft and printed the inside pages on antique style paper. My husband bound the books for me. For the drinkable potion recipes, check out the Potions Class Page

Chocolate Frog and Peppermint Toad Boxes and Chocolates
I found a Chocolate frog and Peppermint Toad template on Instructables. These are time consuming to make, but well worth it! The kids thought they were awesome!
I bought the frog mold from Amazon and used it for both the frogs and toads. For the frogs I used dark cocoa Wilton candy melts. For the toads I used turquoise Wilton candy melts and coated the bottom of the mold with a thin layer of chocolate then filled the rest with dark cocoa mint Wilton candy melts.
Honeydukes Banner and Signs
I used the free downloads from Jonesing2create for the Honeydukes banner and candy labels. I used small gold grommets in the corners and fishing line to connect the letters.
