Wizards - and Muggles - boarded the Hogwarts Express (don't call it SEPTA) Saturday for a magical day celebrating Harry Potter. Festivities included two quidditch tournaments - the Brotherly Love tourney at Chestnut Hill College and the Keystone Cup, at Haverford College - live readings of the books, screenings of the films, games of wizard chess, horcrux hunts, and plenty of opportunities to sample butterbeer, cauldron cakes, and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.
