This year\u2019s End of Summer Bash was a Harry Potter event. It was an all ages event, and had activities for everyone.<\/p>\n

Magic Show<\/h3>\n

To start it off, a magician (by the name of Larry Potter, who was Harry Potter\u2019s secret cousin) performed for over 200 people, making things disappear and then have them reappear in people\u2019s socks! The magician appealed more to the ages of 10 and younger, due to his clumsy nature and humorous tricks. \u00a0(Okay, the magician’s name is really Eli Tanenbaum<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Potions Class<\/h3>\n

In Potions Class, witches and wizards created a Rejuvenation Elixir, out of ingredients such as mermaid nails (pop rocks), doxy eyeballs (gummy eyes), and ashworm (gummy worms). After the concoction was made, guests were free to take it home, or drink it. All ingredients were edible, so later on, participants could have a burst of energy when needed. TAB member Hadley taught this class.<\/p>\n

Wand-making<\/h3>\n

The wand chooses the wizard\u2026 Participants selected their wood color, the core (magical feathers, hair), and then personalize\u00a0their wand with stickers and decorative tape. Many people chose to make\u00a0Harry Potter\u2019s iconic wand, holly with phoenix feather. Led by TAB member Kara Eng.<\/p>\n

Scavenger Hunt<\/h3>\n

The scavenger hunt was a self directed activity that span\u00a0for the whole event. The objective was to find six of the horcruxes (excluding Harry Potter). Each clue led to another clue and each horcrux had a letter. These letters, when all collected and unscrambled should spell where Harry was. There were pictures of Harry\u00a0throughout the library, and only one of the pictures was the \u201ccorrect\u201d one. Led by TAB member Haneen Eltaib.<\/p>\n

Trivia, Costume Contest, Quidditch<\/h3>\n

There were also several other\u00a0events: Trivia, Costume Contest, and Quidditch. For the costume contest, many people dressed as characters\u00a0while others dressed simply as students. The Trivia questions were created by TAB member Cady West. Prizes for trivia were potion bottles and chocolate frogs. The Quidditch pitch was hung from banisters in the patio. Participants had an opportunity to \u201ctry out\u201d for chaser. They threw practice quaffles into one of the three hoops, while a keeper blocked with a broom. Winners won prizes such as chocolate frogs, Weasley Wizard Wheezes products, or Every Flavor Bertie Botts Jelly Beans.<\/p>\n
