Answers:
go to your local grocerie store and go to the cake decoration isle and they usualy have cake decorations all all kinds there. if that fails then go to a bakery and ask them if they would be able to do an edible picture for you. all you wold have to do is bring them a certain picture and they can print it on edible paper with ebible ink(food coloring)
Make a wand with stars bursting from the top of it.
Make a broom.
Make a sorcerer's hat.
do a lightning bolt then Hp or go to your local bakery and ask thenm for those plastic thing you put on your cake

Can't you just wave a magic wand over the mix?
Seriously, check out the link below for some ideas.
make the talking hat thingy.that'd be great if you made it for me and I'm 39.
Is there a Kroger near you? If there is, they sell Harry Potter cakes. But you can still go the homemade route if you want, but the Kroger here will let you buy the "kits" they use for the cakes. Because my son wanted a Batman cake, but he wanted an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. They did not do Batman. So we got him the cake from Dairy Queen and bought the Batman kit from Kroger. We painted on some bats to add to the theme.
let me think about it for a minute. Do you have a Harris Teeter grocery store near you? I remember seeing a Harry Potter theme cake in their theme cakes notebook a few months ago. I can't remember what it looks like though.
Check in toy stores for Harry Potter stuff. Maybe you can find a toy castle that can be Hogwarts and use that on one corner of the cake. You could have a part of the cake be the enchanted forest outside the castle, with a trail or pathway through it, and a dragon or two hiding behind some trees. I'm sure you can find toy trees and dragons somewhere. You could use chocolate frosting for the path through the trees. You could use blue frosting to make the lake. It would be nice if you found a little toy mermaid to put on the lake.
Good luck and have fun!

Maybe you can make an owl,or the dragon he had to fight or let see a you could draw his face on their and use the whipped frosting to do it. You could use black liquorish for the glasses,hair. Or maybe you could get a picture of him and have them put on of the photos on the cake. That might cost some money.
Instead of trying it yourself & running the risk of ruining the cake (I'm not insulting your cake making abilities), have a local bakery make it. My mother makes cakes like you do & when a friend of hers threw me a baby shower, we went professional, to a bakery. Some grocery stores make children's cakes with popular themes. So do a lot of bakeries. Coldstone Creamery in the source below has some too, if you can afford their prices. Also check with Costco or Sam's Club. Sam's did my baby shower cake & it was awesomely done.
I'm sure you can do the cake. Since you haven't made one before, it's best to see one made that you can take pictures of to practise with later.
I used a Harry Potter coloring book as a model, you can find them at pharmacies or book stores. You can use a photocopier to enlarge the picture. I just drew the design on the top of a round cake, then colored it in with icing (colored).
My son was very happy.
I did this years ago for one of my sons. We weren't able to find an actual pan from Wilton so I just made a castle. Start out by making a regular rectangle size pan. I bought a cheap milkshake mixer that contained a metal cylinder. I was able to actually grease the cylinder, fill it up halfway with cake batter and bake it to use for the torrents. I bought an over sized, cardboard sheet cake platter and painted in the moat, drawbridge, trees, etc. around the castle with the appropriate colored icings. After the cake was assembled, I used the Reison dark chocolate candies for the battlements on the top of the castle. I also cut out some paper, affixed it to toothpicks, and colored them in to be the Hogwart's flags. You can than decorate and put the details on the castle anywhere you like. Also, if you can find a plastic dragon and some alligators to add to the top and the moat, it just adds extra charm. Those are pretty easy to find at a Dollar store in the toy department. This has long held the record of being my son's favorite birthday cake and I make him one to go with his birthday party theme each year.
In any event, I hope your daughter has a good one!
If you go to a cake decorating supply store they sell kits used for the Harry Potter cake scene for usually around $7 or so. This will also come with an idea as to how to decorate the scene around the figures.
Perhaps in the shape of the Sorting Hat?
I like the idea of the sorting hat! Or how about a book of spells - you could personalise the spell 'recipe' on an open page, and model some of the spell ingredients (i.e frogs, worms, etc) to scatter around it. There is a wonderful cook book cake in Carol Deakin's No Time Party Cakes that you could use to base your model on.
