Thank you very much to everyone who joined us at Borders for the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince release party! We sorted over 240 new students, and had over 100 entries to participate in Wizard Jeopardy. Read More…

Please join the Faculty and Staff of Avistrum Academy of Sorcery at the Aurora, Colorado, Borders store to celebrate the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We will be sorting new students starting at 9:00PM on July 15. Register for a chance to be a contestant in Wizard Jeopardy, with the opportunity to win great prizes from Alivan’s Master Wandmakers!

The Aurora Borders store is located at 6606 S. Parker Road, in the Arapahoe Crossing shopping center, on the northeast corner of Arapahoe Road and Parker Road. You can view the map and get directions from Google Maps.

During OPUS 2005, there was a performance by a curious duo known as the Redneck Wizards. Their resemblance to Professors Dowling and Bloodthorne is purely coincidental. Unfortunately, the camera work is not stellar, but it’s the only video of the performance. Also, some crude (though not profane) language is used, so parental discretion is advised.
