Spooktacular Celebration: Halloween Harry Potter Adventure
As the leaves turned crimson and the air grew crisp, Halloween brought a special kind of magic. This year, fans of the wizarding world embarked on a Spooktacular Celebrations: Halloween Harry Potter Adventure, blending the excitement of Halloween with the enchanting universe created by J.K. Rowling.
Transforming Amazeum into Hogwarts-inspired settings was the first step to creating an unforgettable experience. Space were adorned with floating candles, cobwebs, and pumpkins carved with magical symbols. Banners from the four Hogwarts houses were incorporated, and spell books were scattered around for an authentic touch. We even created DIY platform 9¾ at the entrance to transport our patrons into the world of witches and wizards.
Themed Costumes : Costumes were a key element of the celebration, and guests dressed as their favorite characters from the Harry Potter series. Whether they chose to be Harry, Hermione, Ron, or even a house elf, the possibilities were endless.
Visitors kicked off their adventure by participating in a Sorting Ceremony, where they created their own House ties. At Ollivanders, they crafted light-up wands, adding a spark of magic to their experience. In Herbology Class, attendees grew "Monster Greens," while those with a sweet tooth enjoyed making Halloween treats at Honeydukes. Guests also wrote letters with feathery quills, connecting with the charm of old-fashioned correspondence.
The highlight was Potions Class, where participants engaged in colorful experiments. They mastered spells in Charms Class, explored Harry’s room under the stairs at Privet Drive, and bravely ventured into Azkaban. Photo opportunities at Hagrid's Hut and fun Halloween tattoos added to the excitement.
​
​In the Quidditch Pitch, mini matches brought competitive fun, and the Potter Quiz tested everyone’s wizarding knowledge.
Experience 13 at the Amazeum provided a magical day filled with creativity, learning, and unforgettable memories for all who attended.

Celebrating the Joy and Splendor of Diwali!
Diwali holds profound historic significance, particularly in relation to the epic tale of Lord Rama. The festival commemorates the return of Lord Rama to his kingdom of Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile and the defeat of the demon king Ravana.
​
Each year, millions of people come together to celebrate this vibrant festival, filling their homes and communities with joy, color, and light.

Preparations and Festivities
In the weeks leading up to Diwali, preparations begin in earnest. Homes are cleaned and adorned with colorful rangoli designs made from colored powders, rice, or flower petals at the entrance. People purchase new clothes, gifts, and sweets, adding to the festive spirit.
​
On the night of Diwali, families gather for prayers and rituals. They light diyas, illuminating their homes and streets. Fireworks fill the sky, creating a dazzling display that brings communities together in celebration.
