FAQs
- Why is this happening on a Wednesday afternoon?
- May 8th is one of the WLWV school district's early release days for all ages, so West Linn families will already be looking for things to fill the afternoon. Due to large attendance numbers in past Harry Potter Day events, this allows us to spread out entry times so everyone has a great time AND gets home in time for dinner!

- Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
- Yes and no! In order to get in at your specified time, you need to have your ticket ready.
