To attend the event, everyone must first purchase a Muggle Ticket for general entry.

If you’d like to attend classes, you’ll need to purchase Student Tickets, which come in sets of 3 classes. You can buy as many sets as you’d like, up to a maximum of 9 classes.It is recommended to start with first year classes, but not necessary. To purchase class tickets, select the class group you would like, eg. Potions, Herbology, and Divination. Next, choose which year you would like to do, eg. First Year.Lastly, choose a timeslot for your classes, eg. 10amRepeat for each group of classes, but book each in a different timeslot. ?? Customize Your Experience! You can mix and match classes across different years. For example, you could take First-Year Herbology, Potions, and Divination, then choose Second-Year Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Care of Magical Creatures.

Build your own magical curriculum and tailor the day to your interests!

For young children, one parent may assist each child without having to also purchase class tickets. You still need a Muggle Ticket for event entry. Only the child will then receive class materials, (eg. a potion bottle in potions class), but the parent can assist with the class.
