What we’re about
We are a diverse group of people brought together by our love for the Harry Potter book series.
We believe in Magic. We board the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 3/4. We cast Spells and free House Elves. We solemnly swear that we are up to no good. We know the answers can be found on Page 394. We don't forget to Live, and we pity those who live without Love. We know that the things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the ways we expect. We remember that the ones that Love us never truly leave us. We find Happiness by turning on the the Light.
We are Dumbledore's Army, the Order of the Phoenix, the Marauders and SPEW. Whether you a brave Gryffindor, a cunning Slytherin, an intelligent Ravenclaw, a loyal Hufflepuff or Hat Stall - together we are the Northern Virginia Harry Potter Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) Meetup group and We Are Magic!
We generally host two HP activities per month - a book discussion and an activity. We discuss the HP books and themes as well as other related novels. We host several annual activities such a themed Tea, Harry Potter's Birthday Cookout, Crafting and Game Days, and Halloween and Yule parties as well as a few unique events. Some of our members also attend HP conventions, either going together or meeting up at the convention.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic our events are online via Zoom, our Discord server or Kast.

It's back! Have a topic or question about Harry Potter that you'd like to discuss with the group, but it's not long enough for a full, regular-length discussion? Our Cauldron of Discussions is the answer!
Submit your question or topic using this form: https://forms.gle/5DHUheGy4LKKKrGVA
You can submit more than once... submit 7 different questions/topics if you want. 7 is a great magical number. Or submit even more than that! Feel free to submit even if you're not sure if you're attending the discussion.During the discussion on April 8, we'll pull questions/topics out of a cauldron and discuss them! We'll also accept questions via chat during the event as well for any last minute ideas that pop into your head.
