Grab your wand, hop on your broom and head to Diagon Alley during Newton’s Harry Potter-themed shopping event. On November 25, Spring Street transforms into the wizarding world. Take Quidditch lessons, participate in the cosplay contest, go on a horcrux hunt and make potions.
First, stop by the sorting hat to find out what house you belong in and get a badge (you’ll need these to get special discounts).
