If you've clicked on this link, you're probably a Potterhead (or at least, know someone who is). In any case, keep your wands at the ready, because it's officially Harry Potter month! From sipping on butterbeer to testing your wizarding know-how, here's a list of things you can do to celebrate The Boy Who Lived.
Potterheads, Here's What You Should Be Doing To Celebrate Harry Potter Month!
Two Friends Cauldron
First things first, hop on your broomstick and head to this Harry Potter themed cafe. Trust us, even the names of the dishes on the menu will bring out the HP fan in you. We'd suggest heading here on Sunday, July 28 (at 11 AM) so you can try your hand at their ultimate Potter quiz. Snack on some Toads Tiara or sip on a Sloth Surprise as you channel your inner Hermione and try and get the answers right. (P.S.: It's designed for serious book readers!). Entry fee is INR 100, and you can participate as a team of two.
Lahe Lahe
Just in case you're around Kodihalli on August 10 (at 2:30 PM, to be precise), try and apparate into Lahe Lahe, so you can attend the Potterheads Meet. With an entry fee of just INR 100, you get to interact with fellow Potterverse nerds, hype about the books (or, if you haven't read them, hobknob with those who have) and discuss fan theories. It goes without saying that there will be spoilers aplenty for non-book readers!
Hippocampus
Quit being bitter about not receiving our Hogwarts letter yet! Instead, let the little ones in your life experience the magic of Harry Potter at Hippocampus. The kids' library is organising a Harry Potter party on July 27, complete with a sorting ceremony, quidditch pong and magical treats at The Great Hall. There will also be a Room Of Requirement that your little one can explore and a Forbidden Forest too! We almost wish we were invited (sadly, it's only for kids aged 9 to 11!).
The Irish House
Living in Whitefield is not unlike living at The Burrow (or somewhere else equally far, far away). No need to feel bummed, though. Simply head to The Irish House on July 31 and treat yourself to magical cocktails, Hogwarts vibes and a super-fun pub quiz! If you win, you get official merch from The Souled Store! Need we say more?
The Yellow Submarine
The folks at The Yellow Submarine are ready for Harry Potter month, guns blazing and everything! Like last year, they've curated a special menu for Potterheads just for the week (until July 31, we mean). Watch out for their special Butterbeer brew. There will also be a host of cocktails to choose from, fun games (we are hoping there will be a Butterbeer chugging contest!) and plenty of magic.
