Description

Birthday cake, pumpkin juice, and chocolate frogs are only the beginning of this birthday celebration for our favorite wizard. Greet teachers as you drop into herbology, practice potions or get a glimpse of the night sky in astronomy class. Don a cloak of invisibility, practice in the quidditch pitch, and fool your friends from the Joke Shop. Find your patronus before venturing into the outdoor park where giant spiders, dementors and bogarts may be lurking. Hogwarts attire is recommended; Muggles are welcome.

Event Cost: $12, $4 members
