You can now feel like you’re at Hogwarts with this Harry Potter-inspired potions class, complete with wands, cauldrons… and colour-changing booze for cocktails
HARRY Potter fans, we have some wand-erful news for you.
From March next year, you’ll be able to take part in an immersive experience which will well and truly make you feel like you’re at Hogwarts.
The founders of Cauldron, a team keen to launch a Harry Potter-inspired pub, are introducing a magical cocktail experience in London.
Self-confessed geek Matthew Cortland and co-founder David Duckworth will hold a potions class, complete with wands, cauldrons and colour-changing booze.
The Harry Potter-inspired experience will see guests make their way into the basement gallery, where they’ll receive their very own wizard robe and be stationed at their own workstation.
There they will mix up their own concoctions, using interactive magic wands and molecular mixology.
Cortland explained: “Students chop, grind, and prepare ingredients and follow instructions to brew two drinkable potions.”
He told that the wands will use the same technology as car key fobs, enabling people to move things without touching them.
These will be activated by movement and voice and used for “opening drawers, pouring drinks, turning on the light”.
He added this is “how I imagine that a wand would be used if magic were real”.
The magic goes towards creating cocktails that bubble, smoke or change colour.
Despite taking inspiration from the fantasy series, The Cauldron is not endorsed by anything to do with the Harry Potter franchise.
Instead, the company claims to “take ideas from across literary and world history and brings them to life with science and technology”.
Tickets for the Magical Cocktail Experience — which will last an hour and forty-five minutes — are and cost £29.99, with the classes expected to run for several months.
