"This
place is fantastic - it's just like being in Harry Potter"
Winter
has arrived at the Museum of Wizardology and offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of the world's
greatest
time travelling wizard, Dr Thaddeus Bombay, with a combination of entertainment and education for those
with a fertile
imagination and an interest in the unexplained!

|
My name is
Dr Thaddeus Bombay - join me on a magical romp through "twistory" as I introduce you to Magic School and all
that is left of my family home, the Enchanted Manor!
Most of my family disappeared at the stroke of midnight many
years ago whilst strengthening the magical enchantments that protect this country from trouble when the incantation went
horribly wrong. My apprentice and I have been searching for magical clues through time ever since - are you
up to being my new trainee apprentice and be able to help me solve the family mystery?

First climb
the creaky winding stairs and ask yourself, am I ready...
"To be, or not to
be the Sorcerer's Apprentice"
Are you up to the task of becoming one of the Sorcerer's Apprentices? Simply solve the riddles that the
Sorcerer has set
in and around the Museum and then tell us the answers. If you get them right you leave as
a Wizard or Witch of Henley Street...
...but get it wrong and we release the trolls from the dungeon!
From the moment you enter the candlelit world of the
Museum of Wizardology you know you're in for a treat,
because it's a magical romp through history all the way.
Since the beginning of time, man has been facsinated
with the magical world that surrounds us and magical explorers have
been known by many names through time:
"Seer", "Wizard", "Witch", "Magician" and
even "Sorcerer"!
When you enter the Museum it's your turn to embark on this magical journey through
time and history.
f you choose to go upstairs, what follows has to be seen to be believed, but suffice to
say it's good magical fun and you
might even unearth the secret behind the lost years of William Shakespeare himself........
"Memories that last a lifetime!"
First stop, one of the Classrooms in Magic School - the Victorian Magician's Lair. Here you can learn all
about the Deathly Hallows or study the lesson plans for Defence Against the Dark Arts; Herbology; Potions and more.
You can discover the true recipe for the Philosphers Stone and you can even see the Tri Wizard Cup!
Then across
the hallway to the Victorian Great Hall and the haunted portrait gallery. From the end of January you will be able
to discover more about Shakespeare's Lost Years in "The Magic of William Shakespeare". What's more - be
careful of the statues - it's said that if there's too much magic in the air they sometimes come to life.....
1586 ~ 1591 are very important years to millions of people across the world as they are referred to as the lost years of
William Shakespeare.
But what if those years weren't lost? What if they were filled with magic, mystery
and mayhem? What if they were spent in the company of the
world's greatest time travelling wizard as his apprentice?
What if..... William Shakespeare was a wizard?
Join us on a magical romp through history as
we present
The Magic Of William Shakespeare
The only question that remains is whether you are ready to be, or not to be, a wizard yourself........
The Magic Of William Shakespeare opens on January 21st 2012
Then, you have a choice.
Downstairs to the Wand Shoppe or upstairs to the Enchanted Manor and more about the magical Bombay Family History
Onwards and upwards, through the spooky Hall
of Mirrors, across the rooftops and through time to the Victorian Nursery packed full of magical toys and tales from
history. Watch out though, some of the toys might be alive.....
Then it's past the deathbed of Ezekial Bombay
into the Hall of True Loves Desire and trhe great Mirror of Eris Edse Voleurt,
into the Corridor of Time where
you can learn all about the truth behind those magical events in history and
finally on to the Haunted Bedroom
of Ophelia Bombay and its tragic tale.
