The University of Arizona and Ohio State University are soon to host two special events.

After all, on 1 September, this is the date Hogwarts students excitedly board the Hogwarts Express for a brand new term – with August being the month Harry would count down the days until he could return again.

To celebrate in the weeks before #BacktoHogwarts day, students and local fans can pop down to the two campuses and indulge in some Wizarding World festivities to show off their house pride, such as Hogwarts-themed photo ops from LEGO, Funko, Jelly Belly and Scholastic. The events promise to be loaded with a few nice wizarding surprises too.

So, if you fancy pottering along, here are the details.

The University of Arizona will be hosting their #DiscoverHogwarts event on 26-27 August, while Ohio State University’s event takes place 19 August.
