The sixth annual Hogwarts at Hamilton will take place on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26 and 27, at Emerson Hall. Hogwarts holds a series of hour-long shows where visitors are taken on a tour of "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." On these tours they see Hamilton students dressed as Hogwarts students, and improvising scenes of classrooms that might have come from one of J.K. Rowlings' books.
Tours are every hour on the hour. Pre-registered tours are full but regular tours begin at 7 p.m. and continue through 11 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday. The event is free and open to the public and all ages are welcome. Hogwarts is entirely student-run, with donations going to charities in the local area.
Hogwarts was started in 2002 by a small group of Hamilton College students, as an improvisational performance for children of all ages based on the books by J. K. Rowling. In its initial year, the performance was done by eight people in a few rooms. Since then, the cast has grown to more than 35 people and the set has moved to an entire building on campus.
