The Harry Potter Yule Ball Celebration is Coming Soon to Texas!

Harry Potter fans, rejoice! A magical 'Harry Potter: Yule Ball Celebration' is coming to Houston, Texas in November!

I still can't believe I've yet to read the entire Harry Potter series. When I tell people that they look at me like I've clearly been living under a rock for the past ten years. I've never even seen all of the movies.

But let me tell you this: I'll never forget the first time I was watching the first movie. When the scene opens where they're entering the great hall to celebrate Christmastime or Yule, I was captivated.

When I was a kid, if you'd asked me to tell you what the ultimate winter experience dream come true would be like, it would be that scene in that movie.

And when I look at the photos and learn more about this magical event coming to Texas next month, that's like a dream come to life.

$5M Home with Secret Harry Potter Bedroom is Every Kids Dream

This home in Florida is truly beautiful. With its grand 25 foot entry with Crystal Chandeliers, floating double staircase with glass railings, this 8 bedroom, and 10 bathroom home is spectacular, to say the least. Still....that's not even close to being the "wow" factor of this 8.986 square foot home. Believe it or not, what makes this home so amazing is the kid's bedrooms. Not just any bedrooms, but themed bedrooms that are masterpieces in themselves.Specifically the Harry Potter-themed bedroom. Wizards and muggles will love the Harry Potter-themed room that you enter through a rotating brick wall to a train station. Then on platform 9 ¾, you will find a life-sized Hogwarts Express train with incredible sleeping quarters complete with a life-size Harry Potter, Dobby, Dragon, and Whomping Willow. For the little princess in your life, there is also a Beauty & The Beast-themed room with a Princess Belle’s Luxurious bedroom. And we can't forget the massive Marvel-inspired game room. Of course, the home is located just a few miles from Disney and Universal Studios, situated on a Jack Nicklaus golf course in Reunion, Florida. This home is definitely something you need to see!
