Nov 2 is Unofficial Harry Potter Day at Disneyland

There are rabid Harry Potter fans and there are rabid Disney fans, and never the twain shall meet. Wait. Scratch that.

On Sunday, November 2nd, The North Orange County Harry Potter Meetup Group will be leading the celebration of the Second Annual Unofficial Harry Potter Day at Disneyland. Activities include the requisite Potter-esque costuming, a park-wide scavenger hunt, and photo ops galore.

The full skinny from event coordinator Zoe reads as follows:

So what're we doing? Well, on the surface it's exactly what it sounds like: a bunch of people who like Rowling and Disneyland hanging out together. We're organizing a really great scavenger hunt which I'm calling a Coin Quest.

Here is the itinerary:

9:30am - 11am Check in for the Coin Quest at the Plaza Gardens

11am - 11:30am Gather together in Plaza Gardens, prepare for group picture.

11:30am Group photo at the Castle (followed by) CLUES GIVEN OUT... GO!!

12pm - 7pm Coin Quest!

7pm Turn in coins at Plaza Gardens. Totals tallied, winners announced, prizes distributed!

After prizes given out: GROUP RIDE! (T.B.D.)

There may also be a group watching of the Fireworks Spectacular. And at the end of the evening, several of us of-age Wizards and Witches will go to Downtown Disney for a nightcap of Butterbeer or Firewhiskey.

More information can be found at the official (Unofficial) Harry Potter Disneyland Day MySpace, and I'm fairly certain attendance is mandatory. Something about a decree from the Ministry of Magic.
