Magical Mayhem at Penpol: A Spellbinding Adventure!

This year, Penpol was once again transformed into a world of wizardry and wonder as students took part in an unforgettable Harry Potter-themed experience. From spellbinding potion lessons to thrilling Quidditch matches, the day was filled with magic, mystery, and a touch of mischief!

The morning began with an intriguing Potions lesson assignment set by none other than the formidable Professor Severus Snape. Students eagerly took on the challenge before heading into a hands-on practical session led by Professor Emery and Professor Lestrange, where they concocted their own mystical mixtures.

Creativity was in full force as students designed their very own dragons, complete with detailed descriptions of their magical abilities and unique characteristics. From fire-breathing beasts to shimmering, winged serpents, each dragon was as impressive as the next!

For those with a competitive streak, the excitement continued with a fast-paced Blooket Harry Potter quiz, testing their knowledge of the wizarding world. This was followed by a thrilling scavenger hunt, where students searched high and low for hidden magical creatures scattered throughout the grounds.

Of course, no Harry Potter event would be complete without a Quidditch match! Cheers and laughter echoed across the field as students took to their broomsticks (or at least, their running legs!) in a fierce but friendly competition to score goals and catch the all-important Golden Snitch.

With wands at the ready and imaginations soaring, Penpol’s young witches and wizards embraced the magic of the day, proving once again that the spirit of Hogwarts is alive and well! A huge thank you to all the staff and students who made this enchanting day so special.
