Bring your Hogwarts pride to a magical Harry Potter-themed getaway.

Wizard Weekend at Cape May’s La Mer Beachfront Resort—happening Friday, March 21 through Sunday, March 23—will pay homage to the much-loved imaginary world created by author J.K. Rowling almost 30 years ago.

Reserve your spot for any or all three events. There’s the TriWizard Bar Trivia Tournament on Friday, the Screen to Table: Wizarding Dinner on Saturday, and a future-predicting Divinations Tea Leaf Reading Class on Sunday.

Saturday’s dinner is the weekend’s premier event. Guests can get started with Harry Potter’s signature butterbeer. The eight-course menu, playfully named, includes the Sorting salad (roasted beets, goat cheese crema and candied pistachios) and the Golden Snitch croquette (lobster croquette with leek, carrot, tarragon tartar and gold dust). And because every wizard needs a wand, patrons will be served a long pretzel wand (accompanied by cheese and mustard dill sauces).

The dinner begins at 6 pm and costs $125, excluding tax and gratuity.
