Toronto is getting a huge Harry Potter themed party

Harry Potter fans, rejoice! Hart House is turning into Hogwarts for a one-day wizarding bash on April 12. The event, appropriately dubbed Platform 9 3/4, will boast magical entertainment, sorcerous challenges and wizard-themed cocktails, plus a few muggle activities like raffles and a silent auction.

All proceeds from the party will be donated to the George Brown College Foundation and Covenant House, so don't feel bad about ponying up a few knuts and sickles (an early bird pass will run you $21.88). The event already has 1.8k interested in attending and around 400 RSVPs, so you'll want to get your hands on a ticket ASAP.

Remember, if you can't snag a "train ticket" you can always drown your sorrows in a Shacklebolt at The Lockhart.

Will you be apparating to U of T's campus this April? Let us know in the comments.
