Events Roundup: Virtual Meetups, Arts and Crafts, and Christmas Trivia

by Aly Kirk · December 18, 2020

Happy holidays from all of us here at MuggleNet! We hope your start of winter is magical and safe. With that in mind, you may have some extra time before the new year to fill with wizarding fun. Let’s get started with this week’s Events Roundup.

 

Check out holiday events in your area!

 

Prefects and Junior Prefects Online Harry Potter Group

Young kids everywhere are still inspired by the Harry Potter story. The Prefects and Junior Prefects discussion group encourages kids from ages eight to eighteen to think critically and creatively about the world they’ve read about. The group session will be hosted on Zoom on December 19 at 1:00 p.m. ET. Registration is free for everyone. For more information, check the event website. 

 

A Day in Hogsmeade

Get a glimpse at the wonder of Hogsmeade with a virtual tour, games, crafts, and an opportunity to learn how to make special homemade treats. Starting at 4:00 p.m. ET on December 19, the 90-minute session allows kids from ages seven to eleven to explore a new side of Hogsmeade. Registration starts at $15. For more information, check the event website. 

 

Harry Potter Winter Carnival

Winter is just about here, and with it comes festivals and carnivals. If you live in Bremerton, Washington, then you’re in luck. The Harry Potter Winter Carnival will be in full swing on December 21, starting at 11:00 a.m. PT. Kids of all ages are invited to enjoy the day. Several activities are planned, and costumes are encouraged. Registration is free. For more information, check the event website. 

 

Virtual Crafts

If anything fun comes out of quarantine, it’ll be the ability to craft and create like Mrs. Weasley. Put those skills to the test with a virtual session of crafting some Harry Potter–inspired wands. The class will take place on December 21, starting at 3:00 p.m. PT. Registration is free and available to everyone. For more information, check the event website. 

 

The Ultimate Harry Potter Quiz: Christmas Edition

Challenge yourself to a Christmas edition of Harry Potter trivia. The Ultimate Harry Potter Quiz: Christmas Edition features extra-hard questions from the book series. The hosts of the event insist that players have a few of their friends on standby in case the questions prove to be too much for even the smartest Ravenclaw. The event will start on December 28 at 11:00 a.m. PT on Facebook Live. Registration is free and available to everyone. For more information, check the event website. 

 

That’s all we have for this week’s Events Roundup. Keep coming back for more holiday fun, magical events, and wizarding mischief. If you’re hosting an upcoming magical event, you can submit it to be included in a future Events Roundup by sending all relevant information to submissions@staff.mugglenet.com.

2004

It’s high time I paid homage to the mighty MuggleNet. Where to start? I love the design, (I currently favour the ‘Dementor’ layout), the polls (I actually voted in the ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince?’ one), the pretty-much-exhaustive information on all books and films, the wonderful editorials (more insight there than in several companion volumes I shall not name), 101 Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort (made me laugh aloud), the Wall of Shame (nearly as funny as some of the stuff I get)… pretty much everything. Webmaster Emerson, Eric, Jamie, Damon, Ben, Matthew, Rachel, Jaymz and Sharon, I salute you.
