"Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience" is coming to Morven Park in Leesburg starting October 29, according to its website.

You'll get the chance to wander through the forest at night and meet magical creatures, use your wand to cast spells, enjoy tasty treats and more.

While you're there, you can also make a difference for the forests that surround you every day by donating to the nonprofit One Tree Planted, which partners with communities to plant trees and increase awareness of their importance to our environment. 

The real magic is the good you can do for the planet and the people around you.
