The Wizard School Scavenger Hunt November 20, 2010

Follow in the footsteps of young wizards on a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in search of art that echoes characters, places and enchanted objects in the famed 'Harry Potter' books and movies. Keep your trusty wand handy as you track down a powerful sorceress, a Snape-like potions master, flying owls and dragons, Hagrid-like giants, centaurs and unicorns like those you'd see in the Forbidden Forest, strange mermaids and sharks that seem straight out of the Triwizard Tournament, fierce knights in armor, and cloaked and masked figures as scary as any Death Eater or Dementor. Wizards and muggles alike can play and enjoy this hunt. The hunt is not an addition to or variation on Harry's adventures, but instead, references to the books will provide a surprising bridge to many strange and wonderful works of art. It's a great way to discover - or rediscover - the Met. This hunt is designed for kids and adults to do together, but all-adult teams will be allowed to compete separately. Kids must be accompanied by adults. Have you done the' Wizard School Hunt' before? There is a second edition you can do! There are two versions of this hunt, the "Owl Edition" and the "Unicorn edition." They are the same game but with two completely different sets of questions about completely different works of art. If you've already done one and would like to do another, send an email so they can make sure you get the right set of questions. http://watsonadventures.com/contact_public.html
