Harry Potter Party Photobooth Easy DIY

This Harry Potter party photo booth easy DIY is pretty simple to make with our printables found below. Or if you are looking to cut corners you could purchase this Sirius Black poster from Amazon and just cut out the window and call it good.

Make this awesome Harry Potter party photo booth for about $1 assuming you have a few basic things already.

What you will need:

  • Poster Board (I got a foam board from the dollar store)
  • A piece of black paper (to frame the window in the photobooth)
  • Glue
  • Our free printbales (find the files to print below)

In order to get the words to print big enough  for this Harry Potter party photobooth I had to print and each word individually and cut them out and glue them. I made another option for non-perfectionists and called it “option 2”. This prints the whole phrase “have you seen this wizard” on one sheet of paper. It won’t be the right size but if you just want to print one sheet and slap it on then there you go.

The bottom half of the sign can be found on the “page 3 printable”. To get that one to look right you’ll need to cut off the bottom two lines that say “Notify immediately by owl the Ministry of Magic – Witch Watchers Dept.” That whole phrase is meant to be one long line across the bottom so you will have to cut that out and glue them in one line.

  53. This easy DIY Harry Potter party photo booth is simple to create using our printables or by purchasing a Sirius Black poster from Amazon and cutting out a window. You can make it for about $1 if you have some basic supplies: poster board (foam board works), black paper, glue, and our free printables. For larger words, print them individually, or use “option 2” for a single sheet with the phrase “Have you seen this wizard.” For the sign’s bottom half, print “page 3 printable” and trim and glue the text as needed for a neat finish.

  56. How big was your poster board? I tried & there wasn’t enough room for the words. I used a monopoly box, it seemed a bit thin, what kind of game board did you use?

    Reply
    • I can’t remember which game I used but if I think I found one the was Roughly the width that I wanted and drew three sides such as the left, bottom, and right side, then moved it up to the height that I wanted and finished the square. Does that make sense?

    Question- how did you ‘prop it up’ for kids to stand behind it holding the convict #???? I”m stumped!

    Reply
    • We hung ours with fishing wire from a large doorway. But you could also just glue the convict number to the window so the people in the photo booth don’t have to hold it if that makes sense. So the convict number would just stay attached to the board.
