We begin our entire day of Harry Potter themed festivities learning to truly understand what Harry and his friends dealt with in the Battle of Hogwarts.
To do so, we have the esteemed wand duelist Charlotte Ravilla joining us to provide over an hour of dueling instruction within Central Park.
As this is a special holiday the Ministry has allowed a relaxation of the rules regarding Wizarding Attire and encourages you to show up in your finest wizard garb. The Muggle's will just think we are a group of cosplayers.
Of course this is not required, jeans and t-shirts will be equally accepted. Please bring a wand if you can, and if have extra wands that you will be willing to loan to those who do not have that would be greatly appreciated.
The dueling instruction will be followed by a light picnic and our second event of the day. Which will be posted separately later this evening.
For an example of what to expect at a dueling class, please see the video below of Ms. Ravilla's standing room only class at the Aeternitas convention last April:
I had so much fun, Charlotte was fantastic! As were the "death nibblers"! and I, one Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, was deemed, "not nearly as stupid as you are in the movie." So wins all around. :)
