Attention all magic-loving muggles!
There’s a Harry Potter birthday tour on Sunday (July 27) at the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum (105-107 S Fairfax Street) in Old Town.
According to the Apothecary Museum:
In honor of Harry’s birthday, the Apothecary Museum is offering a special guided tour for families (and adults who missed their Hogwarts’ letter) that will explore the old Apothecary and the historic muggle medicines that inspired the Herbology and Potions of Harry’s wizarding world. At the end of the tour test your skills and make your own potion to try at home.
Each timed-entry will be a separate guided tour, so be sure to purchase your group’s tickets for only one entry time. Due to the small spaces in the museum, the capacity for each tour is 10 people. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Everyone must purchase a ticket, adults and children. Touring the museum involves ascending and descending one flight of stairs. Photography welcome. This tour sells out quickly, so purchase in advance!
The museum is also conducting a specialty tour on Sunday, Aug. 10. The Specialty Tour: A Magical Apothecary.
The fictional hero’s birthday is actually July 31, according to the Harry Potter books by JK Rowling. The museum has been recognizing his birthday since 2014, and the $15 per-person tours usually sell out.
The museum is open from 1 to 5 p.m.
