Where will it be? Find an empty room you can use and make it Harry Potter-ish.
Cover the walls in posters, display the merchandise, play Wrock at all times, have a movie playing on some sort of screen, and make everything blue, green, red, or yellow.
Try to make it look like a common room, but with all four houses.
Find wall stickers of things like the Hogwarts Crest, the Deathly Hallows, etc and put them on the walls.
Think of a special time when you can hold a club meeting.

Also, maybe you can alternate places with friends.
Like one day you could have it at your friend's house, the next meeting at yours, etc. , Make posters and hang them up around town and on the local bulletin board.
Send emails to all of your friends, informing them about the club!
