October brings a magic and mystery all across DC. While some Washingtonians prefer to get their spooks and chills on at terrifying destinations, others prefer to find something magical in DC. Well this year, you are in luck because there is one place in DC that transforms into a magical Harry Potter Wonderland and you need to go now.
The Town Tavern in Adams Morgan has held a Harry Potter weekend every year but this year they took it a step further for Potter-heads.

As you enter, you will be greeted to the catchy tune of the Harry Potter theme playing from the loudspeakers. Every where you look is a fantastic tribute to the movie.

The house banners hang above the bar and broomsticks line the wall. The Honeydukes sweet shop stand serves chocolate frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans.

You’ll see Dementors floating in the air. Hedwig watches the crowd from her cage and Aragog stays in his spiderweb just above the bar.

Many of the events are ticketed. You can purchase night of tickets at the door. Or you can stop by the bar without partaking in an event.

If you love Harry Potter, then we suggest you get to the Very Potter Tavern soon. By next month, the magic will have disappeared and the bar will return to its Muggle form.
