Where the Wild Things Are

Last year we tested out House meet-ups, which didn’t go over great, but we’re not ones to give up. Y’all asked for them, so we’re trying them again, with shorter sessions this time, so you don’t have to take too much time away from all your other activities. Stop into the Great Hall, take some pics with new friends, maybe team up for trivia, and then get back to finding your owls, shopping, or hitting up one of the movies playing all weekend.

We will be collecting school supplies for Boys and Girls Aid, which is committed to ensuring children and youth are able to build lifelong stability through connections to loving families, supportive adults, and nurturing environments. Harry didn’t have the best childhood before he came to Hogwarts and an organization like Boys and Girls Aid would have helped him immensely in finding a better placement for him than the Dursleys. We believe he would have founded a similar organization to help other orphaned children, because not everyone has a vault full of Galleons or a great family like the Weasleys to escape to.

We also have a special limited Wizarding Weekend design for our shirts/sweatshirts/crops and 2 different tote bags, which we haven’t had in the past. These will be available for order until July 31. If you purchase before the end of June, these will ship for wear before Wizarding Weekend. Proceeds from these items will benefit Boys & Girls Aid, which is why the price points are a bit more than our regular merch.

See you in a few weeks!
