If you’ve been dreaming of being a part of Harry Potter’s world for as long as you can remember, you’re in luck! This holiday season, Apollon Art Space in Omaha is offering the chance to spend an evening at Hogwarts enjoying all of the delightful holiday cheer you can handle. Ready to escape into this magical land?
Apollon Art Space is located at 1801 Vinton St in South Omaha. (But you can probably get there via Platform 9 3/4 for this magical event.)
Holiday at Hogwarts is a true delight for all Potterheads. You'll spend an evening immersed in this fun fantasy world. Wear your favorite wizard clothes to really set the stage.

The evening will be filled with delightful activities like classes in potions, herbology, and defense against the dark arts. Holiday at Hogwarts is primarily meant for adults, but all ages are welcome.

Though you won't get to partake in flying lessons or a game of quidditch, you'll never find yourself at a loss for fun things to do. In the picture below, new wizards learn about the dangers of the Whomping Willow.
Spend some time getting to know the faculty and the other wizards. You may just find a magical new friend! A cash bar will be available - get ready for a tasty butterbeer.

After all of the classes have been taught, you'll sit down to an enchanting holiday feast and a magical show. You'll need to refuel after all that learning and socializing! Save room after the delicious main course - dessert consists of such mouthwatering treats as treacle tarts, butterbeer fudge, and chocolate frogs.

There will also be mini Hogsmeade shops where you can purchase all of your wizarding supplies as well as some souvenirs.

Need a new wand? How about some new magical clothing or a quill? These vendors have you covered.

You can even walk away from your magical evening with keepsakes like pixie dust or a brand new fortune necklace. You'll treasure these trinkets forever - or maybe give them as a holiday gift to your favorite wizard-in-training.
