Mom Tiffany and her son Connor work together to make a craft “Monster Book” during the Harry Potter Party hosted at the Brian King Centre on January 24. Despite the cold temperatures that night, around 50 parents and children turned out the event, with many dressing up as characters from the Harry Potter franchise or as students of Hogwarts.

Scott Waters and his daughter Sadie also work at crafting monster books.

Cousins Riley and Rylee listen to the pronouncements of the Sorting Hat, which slots Hogwarts students into one of four houses.
