Novins Planetarium Bringing Back Astronomical Harry Potter Event

Robert J. Novins Planetarium is bringing back their Astronomical World of Harry Potter event!

You will have a magical experience at the Novins Academy of Wizardry!

This event is happening in September but tickets do not go on sale until September 9th. Make sure you are ready to buy because tickets to this event ALWAYS sell out fast.

According to the Facebook Event Page, here is what you are in store for when you attend:

"Learn how the characters and events in Harry Potter take their origins from the stars and constellations in our specially themed Startalk. From the bright star Sirius in Canis Major to the stars Regulus and Bellatrix, the night sky is filled with some of your favorite, and least favorite characters!"

 

"Spend an hour enjoying magical refreshments in the Great Hall, making a wand and showing off your skills in wizardly activities before entering the planetarium theater for our special class event."

We also spoke with Robert J. Novins Planetarium and they even said that there will be Harry Potter trivia so it looks like your knowledge is going to be put to the test!

So here is a breakdown of the schedule:

Now I was lucky enough to actually go inside the Robert J. Novins Planetarium when we discussed firework alternatives while filming one of the episodes of '94 Seconds With Nicole!'

It is a gorgeous set up and I have only heard amazing things about this Harry Potter event so make sure you take advantage.
