Barbara Arnold |

Bewitching brews and Muggle food will be available for purchase from an enchanted food truck. Dressing up as your favorite Harry Potter character is encouraged. A photo ID with proof of age, such as a driver’s license or identification card, is required to attend this spellbinding event. Tickets are available for $12 through Sept. 19 atafterdarkec.org, and for $15 cash at the door the night of the event.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione shares that Muggles cannot see Hogwarts because it is bewitched – all a Muggle will see is “a moldering old ruin with a sign over the entrance saying DANGER, DO NOT ENTER, UNSAFE.” But don’t worry – even if you never got your invitation, you can fully experience the magic of Harry Potter at this event.

Hogwarts After Dark • Saturday, Sept. 22 • L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library • 7-10pm • $12 in advance or $15 at the door • 21+ • www.afterdarkec.org
