'Weekend of Wizardy' for kids in East Lothian will have wand-making and Dementor train ride

Young Harry Potter fans will be able to make their own wands and go on a Dementor-dodging train ride in East Lothian this weekend.

East Links Family Park is hosting a Weekend of Wizardry between Friday and Monday.

Kids will be able to take on the challenge of Hagrid's Escape Cottage and pose for the ultimate selfie with photo backdrops.

These include the famous blue car Harry and Ron used to travel to Hogwarts.

Hedwig the owl will be making an appearance courtesy of Alba Falconry.

There will also be crafts and wand-making in the Grand Hall, with a Best Dressed competition for the most convincing witch or wizard.

All of the park's usual animals will be there and its express train ride will take a detour around some Dementors in the woods.

Tickets are £15 and you can find out more here.
