You read that right -- grab your wands.

Barnes & Noble is hosting a Harry Potter Ball at numerous locations throughout the country. Luckily for us, there will be one in Dayton, Ohio at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9 at Barnes & Noble at Dayton Mall, located at 2619 Miamisburg-Centerville Road, Dayton.

According to the Facebook event page, this "spectacular magical holiday celebration inspired by the Yule Ball of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'" will include "costumes, holiday attire, music, dancing and special themed crafts."

There will be live music from Dayton's own Anew to Wander.

No tickets are necessary, but it is requested that you donate a book to the Dayton Children's Hospital.
