Emma Watson celebrated her 18th birthday with a sit down dinner for 70 close friends and family at London's Almada Club.

Guests toasted the birthday girl with pink champagne followed by wines from Watson's father's own vineyard. Her mother contributed dessert: a four-tiered birthday cake. "It looked like a wedding cake," a guest told PEOPLE.

None of Watson's Harry Potter costars were at the dinner, although Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy, turned up at about 10 p.m., when some of Watson's friends had been invited for dancing.

My, how they've grown. From left, Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Harry Potter himself (Daniel Radcliffe) begin their sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth installment in the film series, due to open in theaters Nov. 21.

In it, Harry happens upon an ancient book mysteriously marked "Property of the Half-Blood Prince" – which helps the trio learn more about evil wizard Lord Voldemort's dark past.

Last week, it was also learned that the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling's series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, will be divided into two movie installments. Muggles, rejoice!
