Magicon 2024

ABOUT

This is a high-priority owl to all wizards, witches, and squibs. The time for end-of-year exams is approaching, and wizards of all ages may write either their O.W.Ls or N.E.W.Ts. After, you may peruse the best Diagon Alley has to offer. Who can make a potion to impress Professor Snape? Who dares brave the creature Hagrid has chosen for your final lesson?

Or are you just a muggle who would like to dip your toes into the wizarding world in a less immersive experience?

This year we will have Hogsmeade village with all the vendors, food, and the carnival outside the castle in an Italian-style venue. Muggle tickets will grant you access to Hogsmeade only, no entrance into the castle or any of the classes.

Student tickets will give you access to both Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. We will have first and second-year classes available. There will be new class options if you attended last year!

Attractions:

• Each Student will receive a class schedule and passes for 6 classes: Potions, Divinations, Care of Magical Creatures, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Herbology. These are interactive 15-minute classes run by actors dressed up as your favourite professors! Classes are intended for both older and younger audiences
• Sets inspired by the movies where you can take selfies in your favourite wizarding locations.
• Photobooths (photo printouts at extra cost).
• Quizzes of varying difficulty for both adults and children.
• Actors to give you an immersive experience
• Scavenger hunt with prizes
• Themed escape rooms (book and pay for these on the day at the info booth)
• Themed stalls with handmade fandom crafts
• Food and drinks mentioned in both the books and movies (yes, that includes Butterbeer!)
• Fancy dress competition with prizes
• Carnival games, including riding a bewitched broomstick!
• Hogsmeade village
• Evening attractions such as the Forbidden Forest on Saturday night (tickets will be sold at the event)
• Saturday night will have a Year-end ball (tickets sold separately)
• The market will continue into the evening on Saturday, with additional entertainment. Whichever pass you purchased for the day will give you access to the evening activities

Due to venue capacity, tickets are limited to only 480 students per day!!
