Disclaimer: The Crystal Ball is a non-profit event. All ticket sales go directly to the cost of putting on the ball. The organizers are volunteers who will not receive any sort of payment for their work putting this together. This event is in no way affiliated with the Harry Potter books, its author, Warner Brothers or anything affiliated with the Harry Potter franchise. We just adore them. We'd rather not be sued or poked with sharp sticks for creating this. Thanks.
