Introducing, for the first time. . .
The Minneapolis Oddities & Curiosities Expo!
The history and meaning of the creatures of the Harry Potter franchise. Where do hippogriffs come from? Mythology doesn’t really have Norwegian Ridgeback Dragons – but what did Norwegian dragons look like? Do basilisk legends get weirder than in the books? (Spoiler: They sure do!) And werewolves, and house elves, and more besides! Wildly popular in its Shoreview Library and Phoenix Theater performances!
