Harry Potter 20-Year Anniversary Party

Overview

If you're looking for the shindig to end all shindigs this weekend, don't just head to the Valley — hop aboard the Hogwarts Express. Or pretend to, complete with all the Harry Potter costumes such a journey needs. To mark twenty years of enchantment, the Brightside is once again celebrating a certain boy wizard, his wondrous world, and the books and films that defined many a childhood.

Of course, their latest Harry Potter Party is a grown-up affair as always, complete with freshly brewed Butterbeer and boozy polyjuice potion. Plus, apart from drinking and dressing up — which everyone does, so consider yourself warned — there's plenty of other potty party fun to be had.

Dance to the resident Slytherin DJs, find out whether the sorting hat thinks you're a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff, grab a free house badge and wand, don a deathly hallows tattoo, munch on Honeydukes candy and just generally magic the night away. Tickets cost $10 for general shenanigans from 8.30pm, or $15 if you'd like to outwizard other HP fans over a round of trivia from 7pm.
