Food in Literature is an amazing site which tries to re-create foods found in books, from Willy Wonka’s Whipple Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight to James Bond’s Vesper Martini.

The site also has a number of fantastically-detailed dinner party ideas, with themes including Alice in Wonderland, Sleepy Hollow, Treasure Island, and The Hobbit. The most recent party was themed around Harry Potter, and the result is just splendid. From the party invitations (sent by Muggle Mail, “so as not to confuse the mailman”) to candles floating in midair over the dining table, to a friendly owl waiting to greet guests at the door, the attention to detail is spot-on.

Here’s a breakdown of the decoration and food:
