It’s a Christmas miracle! The muggles at the City of Melbourne Christmas Festival have joined forces with the wizards of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to bring a Magical Christmas Quest to Melbourne on Sunday the 15th of December.
The Magical Christmas Quest will have the muggles of Melbourne zooming about the city on a hunt for clues, solving riddles that rival those seen in the Goblet of Fire.
One wily wizard will get to take home the grand price of a VIP Harry Potter and the Cursed Child experience that includes a pair of tickets to the show (parts 1 and 2) with exclusive backstage access, one nights’ accommodation and a pre-show dinner for two at Melbourne’s Hotel for the Arts, the Sofitel Melbourne and a $500 Myer shopping gift voucher.
Ten runners-up will receive a $100 Gift Finder voucher to get their Christmas shopping started.
“After meeting so many passionate Harry Potter fans this season, we could not be more excited to be spending Christmas in Melbourne,” Harry Potter and the Cursed Child performer Gareth Reeves, said.
“We can’t wait to see the Magical Christmas Quest come to life and to join Melburnians in their race around to some of the Christmas Festival’s iconic destinations dressed in their Harry Potter best.”
Teams and individuals will race around to six iconic Melbourne destinations, solving riddles and completing merry missions at each stop along the way. Those who successfully scavenger their way around the city and present evidence to elves at the final stop will go into the random prize draw to win a sleigh of prizes.
The first clue will be released at 9am on Sunday 15 December via the Christmas Festival website:
Godspeed!
