I wrote up a pattern for the Crocheted Harry Potter Broom Pen my Harry doll has. I also created a Slytherin Snake Pen too. :)
Here's the link....

Here's what they look like. Images are clickable for enlargement.

I used a Jewel Box yarn so it feels velvety. Jiggly eyes are a must! The pen tip is like it's tongue.

I submitted these patterns to someone who is working on a Harry Potter Crafts section for the Leaky Cauldron site.
I think kids would get a kick out of these as party favors for a Potter themed party. They don't take very long to make either. You could also crochet a simple string necklace to keep the pen handy around your neck so it doesn't get lost.
