‘Back to wizards and witches, and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that I love, and it's all that I need at
Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
I think I’m going back.’

Put down those anti-cheating quills and that History of Magic textbook and come and join the celebrations! Victory day has come around again, marking the defeat of Voldemort and this year it’s going to be totally awesome! In honour of that magical day, there will be a film screening of A Very Potter Musical, the Starkid production that has taken the internet by storm.

Join us in LAB027 on May 2nd at 7:30pm as we relive the trios adventures through this hilarious musical parody. Don’t forget your butterbeers and cockroach clusters!

A Truly Magical Thank You.

So the ARU Harry Potter Society was awarded Society of the Year 2012-13 last night at the Clubs and Socs Ball and I cannot possibly express how proud I am of everyone who has been involved and supported us through this year. It's been an incredible opportunity and I'm genuinely honoured to have been able to share it with such an awesome group of Potterheads.

It really has been a crazy year and we've had our share of ups and downs, both difficult and truly magical moments. We have an amazing base of members and have had so much fun working with other Societies and the fantastic and ever-supportive SU. It's been a magical journey and I will be sad to say goodbye as the current Committee move on to future Wizarding adventures, but it's been an incredible experience and I've loved every moment of it.

So an immense and heartfelt 'thank you' to everyone who's given the Order of the Ruskin their time from that moment in that kitchen when we wondered if it would be possible, to the near-200 people signed up, to everyone who's attended our events and Pub Socials, and to you if you have stuck with the ARU Harry Potter Society until what is surely not the end, but can only be a bright and magical beginning.

And in the immortal words of Peeves: "We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter’s the one, and Voldy’s gone moldy, so now let’s have fun!"

We hope you’ve had a fun time this week, if you’ve been avoiding Lockhart’s singing ‘Cherubs’ or enjoying a romantic afternoon tea at Madam Puddifoot’s!

We're cracking out our Broom Servicing Kits to get ready for tonight's Firebolt February Pub Social, from 7.30pm – 9.30pm at the Tram Depot, Dover Street. 

So hop on your broomstick, whether it’s a Cleansweep or a Nimbus, and head on over to chill out over a Butterbeer and chat about all things Potter!

Next Harry Potter Social and Calendar of Events!

Hi there!

It was great to see those of you who came along to our last Social, and we hope you’re all settling in well to this semester!

Our next Pub Social will be the Firebolt February Social on Monday 18^th February from 7.30pm – 9.30pm at the Tram Depot, Dover Street. It’d be great to see you all again, and talk about all things Potter over a Butterbeer!

This semester is already shaping up to be pretty magical, so we thought we’d let you in on all our exciting events coming up over the next few months. There’ll be monthly Pub Socials with a different theme, as well as some brilliant events! Some details are still yet to be confirmed, but we’ll be sending our owls out to you all in good time with all the information.

We’ll also be giving you more information in the next few weeks about how to get nominated for next year’s Committee positions. As the current Committee will all be finishing their Wizarding education and moving onto other magical things, new Witches and Wizards will be needed to fill these roles or the Society won’t be able to continue next year!

We’re looking forward to seeing many of you at the Firebolt February Social next week. Now back to that Potions essay…
