CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History is hosting a one-of-a-kind event for Harry Potter fans.

The museum's website promises a "club-like feel" for adults. Cosplay is highly encouraged.

"This is an adult appropriate event where cosplay is encouraged," the website says. "Cash bar will serve Butterbeer, beer, wine, and other mixes!"

This magical event happens 6-10 p.m. Saturday.

There will be plenty of whimsical activities for local wizards to enjoy.

"Go down Diagon Alley and search for your wand, join classes in astronomy, charms, potions or divination! Be wary of the Mirror of Desire!" their event page says.

Tickets are $20. But if you buy 5 tickets online, you get one free admission. Bring your whole quidditch team!

Tickets will also be sold at the door, but organizers encourage pre-purchasing them online to avoid lines.
