Wizardfest is coming to Australia and we now all have a reason (do we need one?) to pull out the ol’ dress robes and costumes to party with fellow fans and muggles.

The May event is being held in Sydney, Perth, and Adelaide with other major cities to follow later on this year.

With Butterbeer, Fire Whiskey and a new drink especially for Wizardfest called the Potent Potion flowing, along with music and prizes for best dressed, it is a fun night out organised by a team of fans aptly named Peeves’ Gang. There is even a chance to pre-purchase souvenir glasses to take home on the night.

I went to the first event last year and was like a kid in a candy store Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes.

Tickets are available online until sold out.

Wizardfest is not an official event of, associated or affiliated with Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling or Warner Bros.
