The Carnival That Shall Not Be Named
Teen Carnival

When the younger wizards apparate home, the magic shifts to The Carnival That Shall Not Be Named. This after-hours, teen-only Purim, where Chag-warts sheds its candy-colored charm and plunges into a darker, cooler wizarding world. Shadows flicker, forbidden spells whisper through the halls, and every corner hides a challenge—or a Chamber of Secrets, if you will. Test your nerve with enchanted games and twisted trials, sip on mysterious potions, snap epic dark wizarding photos, and navigate spaces where roaming wizards might be friend or up to no good. No first-years. No rules. Just teens, magic, and a night where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Step inside if you dare.
