EVENT DETAILS AT WW!

Wizarding Wilmington is still in the planning stages with it's event schedule. Here's a bit of information to wet your whistle!

Diagon Alley
Main Street Wilmington will transform into Diagon Alley--filled with games for kids, food vendors, merchandise vendors, shops that have been converted to look like your favorite places in the Harry Potter series, photographers, and much more! Diagon Alley will also have "The Theory Wall" posted for you to write your predictions for the final book! Put something up or read what others have written!

Knockturn Alley
Running parrallel to Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley will also offer vendors and games and perhaps a bit of the scarier side of the novels including a "Haunted" trail that will lead you through scenes and places sure to give you goosebumps! Watch your back!

The Diagon Alley Stage
This stage will offer a variety of music through out the evening with local bands and even some Wizard Rockers! Set to play so far are: Witchcraft & Wizardary, H.I.S.S./Pureblood Princess, Rosmertas Rockers, the Azkaban Trio, Tom Riddle & Friends and the Whomping Willows!

The Knockturn Alley Stage
This stage will offer a few Hogwarts classes and skits preformed by members of hp-ohio! Classes held will be Professor Sprout's Herbology, Potions with Professor Snape, Fright Crafters, Jim and his Increadible Snakes, and Magic Class from Mysical Magic. Skits preformed will be Wand Safety and You, Quidditch Safety and You and Defense Against the Dark Arts and You (all written by Coramandragora of hp-ohio). The Knockturn Alley Stage will also host several Look-A-Like Contest! So put on your best costume and test yourself against other fans to see who can be the best Harry, Hermione, Ron, or any of the characters from the novels!
