The Assembly House launched its School of Magic Afternoon Tea on Friday, tempting wizards-in-waiting both young and old.
Complete with chocolate wands, choosing hat cakes, butter beer freakshakes and house colour decorations, the tea has been inspired by the world of Harry Potter, and created by chef Mark Mitson.
