Harry Pottermay have come out 19 years ago, but this party was 29 years in the making. Liz Edmonds, a.k.a. n3rdychik on Imgur, shared photos of her intricate Harry Potter-themed 29th birthday party, complete with, well, way more Wizarding World references than you are expecting. SEE ALSO: Photos of magical night buses could be proof of a parallel wizarding universeThe party was thrown together by her friends as a surprise for Edmonds, and she was totally blown away. "I've never had a surprise birthday party, let alone a Harry Potter themed party. I'm stationed in Germany and leaving to go back to the US 5 days before my birthday," she wrote on Imgur. "My friends decided to throw me a birthday party before I leave, and the party they threw was so amazing! I cried. A lot. I can't believe they did this all for me. They truly are my family away from home." Here are photos of the awesome event.
