The Wizard's Den
This Harry Potter-themed event will see you attend a boozy Hogwarts-style potions class.
Overview
In recent times, this fine country has seen Harry Potter brunches, dinners, movie marathons, train rides, spoof plays and trivia nights. And that's not to mention the Cursed Child mania that's been taking over Melbourne. But are you sick of it? No chance. If there's one thing we know, it's that the demand for Harry Potter will never die — and this latest pop-up, along with the fact that there is a seemingly endless stream of Harry Potter events to come, proves that.
The next piece of mainstream Harry Potter fandom to hit Brisbane in September and October will be the Wizard's Cauldron. Inspired by the experiences that the gang had in potions class — and hopefully avoiding the botched polyjuice potion episode — the pop-up bar will mix magic and mixology. That's to say, there will be cocktails. Probably with some dry ice and bubbling substances. It'll be sort of like a science class, except you'll wear robes and mix your drinks with a wand. And drink what you mix, of course.
The 'experience' will take 90 minutes — with sessions held between September 23–October 28. Tickets come with a $40–45.40 price tag. For that, attendees get a hot mug o' mead and help from a (probably) greasy-haired Potions Master to mix two potions for yourself.
Challenges are also part of the fun, with participants tasked with unlocking the ingredients for their concoctions. You may or may not have to take your O.W.L exam after — and, either way, there'll be a cash bar so you can celebrate or commiserate your results for further drinks and snacks.
