Those who know me know that I am obsessed with Harry Potter. Very obsessed. So I OBVIOUSLY had to check out the Harry Potter Festival and Quidditch Tournament at Chestnut Hill College. I will say this: the event has GREATLY outgrown their location. So many people attend. So. many. people.
I will say I am proud of my After Effects work for the opening. Thanks for the help, internet.
I shot this in October and posted it to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first HP book:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was published on June 26, 1997, which means we are celebrating its 20th anniversary this year!
In honor of this milestone, check out Harry Potter Festival at Chestnut Hill College. This magical event takes place every year – and includes a pub crawl, quidditch tournament, and so much more. Germantown Pike becomes Hogsmeade, complete with butter beer, character look-alikes, and activities for witches and wizards to enjoy. And transportation is easy, just take the Hogwarts Express! Which is known as SEPTA’s Chestnut Hill West regional rail line to muggles. And learn about quidditch from Chestnut Hill College’s team captain, Elena Ramos!
