Magical nights in store for Rotherham's Harry Potter fans

Literacy charity and storytelling centre Grimm & Co is paying homage to the magical inter-school face-off from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with an evening of tasks themed around life at Hogwart’s.

Grimm & Co will host the event at Fitzwilliam & Hughes cafe in the Minster Yard at 5pm on Thursday, February 6, to mark Harry Potter Book Night.

Tricky challenges on the night will include decorating dragon eggs, designing badges to support SPEW or your school champion, riddling past the Sphinx and testing your knowledge with a Goblet of Fire quiz and there will be with Harry Potter-related raffle prizes up for grabs.

Tickets are free (with suggested donation of £3 toward Grimm’s writing workshops) but must be booked at eventbrite.co.uk - search for “Harry Potter Book Night” with the location as Rotherham.
