Harry Potter Return to Hogwarts with Slash

SLASH, Sri Lanka’s first ever Buy-1-Get-1 Free Coupon App hosted their first experience event for app users and newcomers. The Harry Potter 20th Anniversary – Return to Hogwarts event took place on the 2nd of January at Butlers Pub with Potterheads getting together for a screening of the much-awaited HBO 20th Anniversary Harry Potter reunion. 

At the event itself, it was fair to say that SLASH spared no expense in going all out to curate an all-inclusive Harry Potter adventure for Potterheads. Enter the venue by running straight ahead between platforms at a makeshift King’s Cross Station with your trolley to enter platform 9 ¾ and make your way to the talking Sorting Hat to be assigned your House – are you a Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin? The venue itself was arranged to resemble the Great Hall in the Hogwarts Castle with all four House tables and each corner and nook of the space was set up with props and memorabilia of iconic scenes from Harry Potter. 

The event kicked off with a series of games, including a very intense quiz that tested even the most die-hard fan of Harry Potter because really, how does one know the answer to ‘Which row in the hall of prophecy contains the prophecy about Harry and Lord Voldemort?’ – surprisingly, quite a few fans did! The Houses battled each other in four intense rounds of games and activities and ultimately, Ravenclaw won the coveted House Cup. The event also included a 3 course Harry Potter themed meal by Butlers Pub; Three Broomsticks Chef’s Special Buffalo Wings, Weasley Family’s Favourite Roast Chicken, Honey Dukers Gourmet Acid Pop and Madam Rosmerta’s Specialty Mix Butterbeer. 

The screening of the 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts reunion was an emotional 100 minutes. Watching the cast and directors talk about the making of the films and give little insights to behind the scene events of a film that is loved by millions and transcends over generations was nostalgic. 

At the end of a successful event, Co-Founders of SLASH, Tasneem Turabally and Hussain Turabally  shared the concept behind the event. “SLASH is an experience app and we are excited to kick off our first experience and curate more in the future. The SLASH app is a win-win platform for everyone – you simply have to subscribe to a plan of your choice and enjoy savings on your total bill. From our largest plan, a user can save a million rupees as of right now. On the other hand, SLASH also allows vendors to get more bookings, exposure and advertising.”
