Trying to think of Harry Potter details

[Wendi Riggens]

I am a pro photographer and have been planning a HP themed session for my daughter for months (she's 6 months old right now). I have most of the sets figured out, but want little details to fill the spaces. I've read the books at least a dozen times but feel like I am forgetting so much! Help me think of things to include that might not be so obvious, or parts of life at Hogwarts. I don't want to have her be Harry, but instead have it more like she is going to Hogwarts now, as herself.

Here's what I have:
-Hogwarts acceptance letter (pretty simple) with supply list
-Platform 9 3/4 with trunk and some supplies
-Sorting (looking for a sorting hat or an easy way to make one, trying to decide which house she will be in)
-Quidditch
-Monster Book of Monsters and a bunch of other textbooks, like she is studying or something, OWL study guide laying on the table, quill in her hand
-Free time, have her surrounded by wizarding candy, Weasley products, reading a quibbler, Quidditch or band posters on the walls, maurader's map, maybe a hogwarts permission form
-Howler,maybe surrounded by owl post?
-Potions class with Felix Felicis around her neck, vials, cauldron, maybe some fangs and other potions supplies

Also have a wand, making robes and uniforms for her.

I'm trying to think of maybe other sets, or things to include in the sets to make them more authentic. Like maybe a remebrall, a teacup that is half rat, etc, little things mentioned in the books.

Any ideas? Thoughts?

I love your project and I want to see the photos someday!

I suggest you do a vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank with piles of knuts, sickles, and galleons!

i've always got ideas;

1) picture her hiding in a pumpkin patch with a double bladed hatchet buried in a stump then some how build or photo shop hagrid's hut in the back ground and put some crows here and there and one with a time turner in its beak.
2) gotta get a picture of her asleep in a train car seat with tons of wizard candy laying around and a stuffed owl in a cage beside the window in which you frosted over with xmas window frost then project a dementor silhouette onto it from behind
3)go to the woods....take a birds eye view picture of her looking up in surprise ..with wizard books tossed about ..then take a card board cut out of a minotaur and back light it to cast a shadow on the ground

I'll have a broom for the Quidditch one!

I've always loved the SkeleGro Bottle.

She's a little young, but the wand choosing at Ollivander's (complete with lighting effects) would be neat.
