Harry Potter Week
Twenty-nine years ago, the magical world of wizardry and incantations changed lives forever with the debut of the Harry Potter novels chronicling the journey of “the boy who lived.” As Harry grew, we grew alongside him—embarking on adventures filled with potions, spell‑casting, Parseltongue, Quidditch, and courage against impossible odds. These tales invited us to reimagine ourselves and the world around us, shaping how we approach challenges, solve problems, explore the Ministry of Magic, and value the power of friendship (and even a few frenemies).
Join us for a full week of wizarding fun from July 26–August 1, featuring a Harry Potter Movie Marathon, wand making, Sorting Hat activities, and more. As Mr. Ollivander reminds us, “The wand chooses the wizard.”
