The all-weekend Avistrum Academy of Sorcery Spring Term is returning once again to OPUSFest May 19-21, 2006 at the Hyatt Regency DTC!

Avistrum Academy of Sorcery is the North American school of witchcraft and wizardry. If you've ever dreamed of being a student at a school of magic like that depicted in the Harry Potter novels or movies, this is your chance! Come be a part of this special weekend! Wondering what you can expect? Please read the recap of last year's event.

Schedule

Students will be sorted on Friday night into one of Avistrum's four houses, and will enjoy a special dessert buffet, with a chance to meet and mingle with your fellow students and the faculty and staff.

Beginning Saturday morning, you will take several classes throughout the weekend in topics to include Divination, Charms, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Beasts, Potions, and Defense Against Dark Magic. You can qualify to be your house's champion in the Quidditch Tournament finals Saturday evening. Saturday night, our castle is taken over by the Death Eaters for a Dark Wizards' Ball.

Sunday, classes resume, and you will continue to earn (or lose) points to help your house win the House Cup. The Cup will be awarded at a special close-of-term ceremony Sunday evening.

Be alert! The dark witch Persephone's minions have been lurking, and you never know when strange things might happen in the castle! The professors are always vigilant, but you might be called upon to help defend the wizarding world!
