The mark of a true friend? Someone who would throw you an exceptionally realistic Harry Potter birthday party, of course. One lucky Imgur user, n3rdychik a.k.a. Liz Edmonds, has a group of besties that did just that, and the photos that she posted of the event online are blowing our Muggle minds.
Liz explained on Imgur that she's stationed in Germany with the U.S. armed forces, though she's moving back home just five days before her 29th birthday. To send her off and give her the b-day celebration she deserves, her friends and husband orchestrated a soirée that could have actually taken place at Hogwarts.
"My friends decided to throw me a birthday party before I leave, and the party they threw was so amazing!" Liz wrote. "I cried. A lot. I can't believe they did this all for me. They truly are my family away from home."
Check out some of the truly magical photos below. First, there's the entry to the party: a real-life Platform 9 3/4.
An all-too-accurate interpretation of the Hogwarts Express trolly:
The table setting was complete with banners for all the Hogwarts houses, and of course, those mystical floating candles of the Great Hall.
Hogwarts acceptance letters were flying about, as though dropped from the sky by an owl.
Liz even got her very own wand (along with framed, inspirational Ollivander quote)...
...pet owl...
...and Golden Snitch.
Plus, it featured a whole bunch of other incredible Wizarding World details.
We're calling it: This party is almost as amazing a birthday present as finding out that, "Yer a wizard, Harry."
