Cobb library holding Harry Potter-themed ‘Yule Ball’ event Friday

“We didn’t see that there was really anything for adult fans of ‘Harry Potter’ to kind of engage in, especially as an immersive experience,” Worthwich School’s Faye Fearless said.

Muggles and wizards alike are invited to the Yule Ball on Friday.

The Yule Ball is, of course, held before the Triwizard Tournament for all fourth-year students and above at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the fictional magic school from the Harry Potter franchise.

This one will be held at the West Cobb Library, 1750 Dennis Kemp Lane in Kennesaw, from 5 to 7 p.m., according to the Cobb County library system.

All ages are welcome.

“Get your fortune read by the divination professor, navigate your way through a labyrinthine obstacle course, dance the night away with your date–or take a photo in our photo booth,” the library said in its event posting.

There will be games, crafts and a costume contest. No registration is required.
