Travel to the Heritage School of Wizardry. No floo powder needed.
Springfield’s Wizarding Weekend is a Harry Potter-themed event on September 28th. We’ll be transforming the Heritage Center Museum into a wonderland with opportunities to hone your spellcraft and learn about Clark County’s magical history.
NOTE: The Heritage Center Museum will be closed from Thursday, September 26 to Tuesday, October 1 to allow our house elves to prepare for these events!

Festivities kick off Saturday afternoon with our Open House: Professors will welcome witches, wizards, current students and alumni alike back to the Heritage School of Wizardry. Guests will have the opportunity to get sorted into their houses, meet & greet their local owls, participate in some specialized crafts and activities, and compete for house points.

The fun continues on Saturday evening with our Wizards’ Ball, which is reserved for adults 18 and up. We’ll have a cash bar (for those with proper ID), candy bar, dinner, dancing, dueling and house points contests, classes, games, and more!28
