2019 Yule Ball

What a magical night!

We danced, we drank, we enjoyed magical entertainment and company, and we did it all for a great cause.  Through ticket and raffle sales, we raised $7000 for KIND – Kids in Need of Defense, a non-profit that provides legal protection and support for immigrant children.

Thank you to everyone who attended, who volunteered, and who donated raffle items.  We could not have done it without you!

Happy Birthday PDXpelliarmus!

On October 25, 2019, we celebrated our first year at a 501c3 non-profit!  It was the result of a lot of hard work by organizers and volunteers, support from the community, and inspiration from The Harry Potter Alliance.  Here’s to many more years of magic!

2019 Rose City Comic Con

Rose City Comic Con 2019 is done, and it was magical!

We want to send out massive gratitude to our volunteers, from patronus painters to boxers and button makers, and to all the people who spent time at our booth.

We could NOT have done it without all of you. If you didn’t get to volunteer or visit with us, just know that we brought a little extra magic to Rose City, let people live their Quidditch and Hogwarts fantasies, test their HP knowledge, and build bowtruckles. While having all that fun, we also collected 22 backpacks and enough school supplies to fill half of them for students served by School Uniting Neighborhoods in North Portland. We also raised $700 for them through sales and cash donations.
