A Harry Potter fan festival set to take place in Goderich this October is moving to Blyth and changing its name. All tickets sold to the Transfigured Town: Goderich event Oct. 13-15 will be honoured for the Festival of Wizardry, organizers said. Blyth was a back-up venue for the festival, Swartz said in a release, adding it was known as their "Room of Requirement," which is a reference to the Harry Potter books. There were reports Goderich council had pulled its support for the festival, although Goderich Mayor Kevin Morrison said that was inaccurate. For people who have already planned to stay in Goderich for the festival, organizers said they will be issuing free parking passes and running shuttles.
