VIDEO: Check out this Harry Potter Festival taking place in October
Harry Potter fans will be flocking to Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia on October 21-22 for the Annual Harry Potter Festival which looks like a lot of fun.
The celebration of what is arguably the world's favourite fictional world takes over the charming town of Chestnut Hill for two days of Harry Potter inspired events.
For two days the town comes to a standstill for Harry Potter fans to revel in the world of wizardry and magic.
The streets are closed off and the local train is packed with look-a-likes of the main characters, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Dumbledore looking to greet fans as they make their way to the experience.
A number of scheduled events take place over the two days including a Quidditch tournament, a butterbeer pub crawl, a sorting hat ceremony and a number of presentations at the local college: Chestnut Hill College, which is transformed into the mythical university Hogwarts for the weekend.
There are also scavenger hunts and film screenings taking place at the occasion as well as Defence Against the Dark Arts classes.
Last year's event looked pretty damn good and this year is expected to be even better.
