The town of Goderich, Ontario, located on Lake Huron, approximately 230 kilometres west of Toronto, is set to receive a Harry Potter makeover this fall for a fan festival inspired by the book series.
Harry Potter and the Transfigured Town runs Oct. 13–15, and will include quidditch matches, a poly-wizard tournament and house challenges, live performances by Potter-inspired bands like the Lovegoods and Tonks and the Aurors, a scavenger hunt, face painting, vendors, and more. The festival will take place at multiple locations throughout the town, with all proceeds going toward economic development and improvement of the community.
