Harry Potter Origami By Scholastic |The Works

A Harry Potter Origami Sorting Hat Fortune Teller (also known as a cutie catcher) was exactly what we needed as we finished “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” for the umpteenth time! It’s always bittersweet when we finish one of these wonderful books by J. K. Rowling. She is an expert at drawing you into a story and making you feel as though you are in the characters shoes, so to speak. One of the first nail-biting moments of the book is when Harry is to be sorted into one of the Hogwarts Houses and the Sorting Hat is placed on his head. “Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin,” he whispers quietly to himself.If you have got any Harry Potter fans in the family then these are some really fun and easy to follow paper folding projects that will keep everyone entertained.

Just below the red strip, paste the yellow strip parallel to the red one. Now take the second yellow strip and align it with the other red strip overlapping the first yellow strip. From the sorting hat to a Nimbus 2000, there's a whole lot of Harry Potter paraphernalia straight from the wizarding world that can be made out of paper. Making these Harry Potter origami pieces is a fun way to spend a family afternoon together, plus once you have them they make great toys for children to play with. After cutting out and folding the Harry Potter fortune teller, you can play by yourself or with a partner. Someone asks a yes or no question and chooses one of the Hogwarts Houses — Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. Then giving the House crest a tap with a wand, you open and close the fortune teller while spelling the name of the House.

During my daughter’s Harry Potter Birthday Party, activities took place during four Hogwarts classes – Divinations, Charms, Herbology and Potions. For Divinations, I created a Harry Potter Fortune Teller printable. Also known as a cootie catcher, this origami paper craft use spells and movie quotes to help partygoers “predict the future.” It was a hit with 10-year-old girls, and now I am sharing the free printable for your party. Don’t miss this AND the second enchanting guide to paper-folding – the perfect gift for every young wizarding world fan! Each picture has a number associated with it. Open and close the Harry Potter Origami Sorting Hat alternating between up and then across with your fingers. For example, if the player chooses the bubbling cauldron, you will make three movements. If the owl was chosen, you make four. Leave the Sorting Hat open on the last count.
