Pilgrim Church is the site of a community-wide Harry Potter-themed Halloween party on October 28, 2012 from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. The party is FREE and open to the public.This is a fundraiser for the Kid's Closet of Duluth (possible grant and donations) and the Lake Superior Zoo (donations.)

Explore Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, the Black Forest and the Hogwarts Castle where there will be a myriad of activities and games ranging from silly to scientific and spanning 4 floors!

From a wizard dual and a broom flying lesson to posting mail from the owlrey or sipping Pumpkin Juice at the Three Broomsticks Tavern there is an attraction there to delight all. Culminate the evening's adventure by testing your magic skills and entering the Tri Wizard Championship. Wizards, witches and costumed guests of all ages welcome.

Make sure you bring your cloak for a "thestral"-drawn carriage ride outside (weather permitting.) No dementors please (non-violent costumes only.) Pilgrim Church is located at 2310 E. 4th Street

Harry Potter books have sparked the imagination and induced an interest in reading in millions of children and adults worldwide. Totally fantastic literature!! This party is a fun, off-the-street, out of-the-cold and out-of-the-dark alternative (or addition) to trick-or-treating.

Children will be exposed to experiences they have not had previously.
