Young witches and wizards will once again have the opportunity to transport to the Wizarding World™ through the magic of storytelling at Harry Potter™: Magic at Play’s weekly Morning Storytime series. In a return of the hit storytime series that took place in April, this edition is scheduled to take place every Thursday at 11 a.m. throughout the month of July (July 6, 13, 20 and 27).

The special event will once again offer children and their guardians the opportunity to enjoy a live reading of an excerpt of Harry Potter™ and the Sorcerer’s Stone, with the July edition taking place in the newly opened Butterbeer Café located on the first level of the experience. Following Storytime, guests will have the opportunity to experience all the magical interactivity that Harry Potter™: Magic at Play has to offer.

Located at Chicago’s iconic Water Tower Place (835 N Michigan Ave.), Harry Potter™: Magic at Play is created by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment and Original X Productions (OGX) and co-presented by Fever. The experience allows fans of all ages to engage with the Wizarding World™ like never before through 30,000 square feet of hands-on magical interactivity including games, exploration, sensory activations and more that celebrate Harry’s own journey in discovering the wizarding world.

Explore the Dursley’s living room, taking care to not disturb anyone in the cupboard under the stairs; step onto a boat and prepare to cross the Great Lake to Hogwarts; imagine attending some of Hogwarts’ most beloved classes, mastering “Wingardium Leviosa” and levitating a feather in Charms, exploring the Potions dungeon with all senses and fending off a swarm of Cornish Pixies in Defense Against the Dark Arts; practice Quidditch fundamentals for all player positions; play amid Hagrid’s pumpkin patch and traverse the Forbidden Forest; and so much more.
