'Harry Potter' Halloween
Hop aboard the Hogwarts Express for a magical Halloween party to rival the Yule Ball.
Overview
If you're looking for the shindig to end all shindigs this Halloween, 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. That's what's on the spooky agenda at Retro's, which is combining its end-of-October celebrations with plenty of love for a certain wizarding franchise.
Of course, this Harry Potter Halloween party is a thoroughly grown-up affair. Really, it's just an excuse to help whittle down your costume options, and to add some nostalgia to your night. It all takes place from 7pm on Saturday, October 30, so you can also think of it as the warm-up to the actual date.
Drinks-wise, if you want to pretend that your beverages are Butterbeer and boozy polyjuice potion, that's up to you. Otherwise, dance like it's the Yule Ball — or like the sorting hat has just popped you in Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff — and just generally magic the night away.
Tickets cost $22.85, and arriving early is recommended.
