Events Roundup: Trivia Showdowns, Art Classes, and Drive-In Movies

by Aly Kirk · January 15, 2021

We have some new and exciting events for just about everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re a trivia buff or want to get your baking skills perfected, we have an event waiting to be discovered. It’s another Events Roundup! Let’s get started.

 

Book Trivia

We get our fair share of trivia events here in the roundup, and we love sharing them with you. Takeout Trivia is hosting an online competition for only the most knowledgeable of Harry Potter fans. Topics will cover only information from the books. If you win, not only will you be able to walk away with the glory of a reigning trivia champ, but cash prizes will also be awarded to the top teams. The whole event takes place on Zoom on January 20 at 8:30 p.m. EST and will run for about 90 minutes. Registration is $10 per team.

 

Test your knowledge for cash prizes.

 

 

Movie Trivia

Don’t worry – if the movies were more your speed, we’ve got you covered. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is hosting its own trivia showdown. Questions will come from the movies. This event will take place on January 28 at 7:00 p.m. EST at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Woodbridge, Virginia. While there isn’t a cash prize for this trivia contest, you can still walk away knowing you’re the brightest witch/wizard/Muggle of your time. Registration is free, but the location requests tickets be reserved for each person on your team. 

 

Challenge your friend at a trivia contest!

 

 

Drive-In Movie

Since we should all still be taking precautions and keeping our (social) distance, a drive-in movie seems like an appropriate outing. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone will be showing at the Revolution Hall in Lexington, Massachusetts. The movie starts at 7:00 p.m. EST on January 22. Tickets are $20 per car, so bring the whole family. When you’re checking out, use the promo code Drive1 for a treat from Revolution Hall when you order food at the venue. 

 

Enjoy a night out on the town, or at least in your car.

 

 

Virtual Art Club

It’s time to explore your creative side with a virtual art club. Young Art USA is hosting a four-week event in which kids can let loose and unleash their art skills. An instructor will guide you through four projects in an online setting. Each class is on a Saturday, starting on January 23 at 1:00 p.m. PST. Registration is $79 for all four weeks. Kids ages five and up are encouraged to join.

 

Master your art skills in Harry Potter art club.

 

 

Cookie Decorating

We can all agree that cookies are one of the best things ever, right? Good. With that in mind, you’ll probably love this event. Sift + Pour in Dallas, Texas, is hosting a cookie-decorating class featuring four Harry Potter cookie designs. This delicious class guarantees not only some cookies to eat but also two glasses of butterbeer. Tickets are $35 per person. If you plan on sitting together, buy your tickets in one purchase. Baking starts at 5:00 p.m. CST on January 23.

 

Who doesn't love cookies?

 

 

Potter Pub Crawl

Join the citizens of Columbia, South Carolina, as they embark on the third annual Potter Pub Crawl. Witches and wizards (above the age of 21, of course) will be able to enjoy delicious cocktails and specialty drinks across bars in the downtown area of Columbia. Tickets include not only entry to the event but also a wand, access to trivia games, House-themed routes, and more! Registration starts at $22 per person, and the fun starts on January 23 at 4:00 p.m. EST. 

 

Join adult wizards for a "Potter" Pub Crawl.

 

That’s all we have for you in this week’s Events Roundup. Check back next time for more exciting news.

We hope you have a blast at these amazing events. Drop us a line and tell us how they went!

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.

Recurs yearly

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.
