In-HUS Entertainment; Harry Potter Quiz Night & Upcoming Events At HUS

Harry Potter Quiz Nights Go Down As A Huge Success. Plus Upcoming Valentines Night, Big Lebowski Film Night & More Coming Up. 

As a self-proclaimed Harry Potter fanatic, I have always loved the idea of a quiz night devoted to the Boy Who Lived. There have been a few attempts at such an event within Liverpool but none have really taken off. Therefore, when I saw that HUS was throwing their very own magical quiz- I booked immediately. Surprisingly, the event was fantastic value for money with team tickets costing only £10 for a group of up to six people- not bad for a night out.

Originally intended as a single event, HUS decided to do three separate, consecutive quiz nights due to popular demand. I attended the third and final night. Upon arrival you are greeted by the witch and wizard in charge and taken to your table. They did a really fantastic job of decorating the venue. There were house colours in every corner of the room, cardboard cut-outs and even candles hanging from the ceiling! Each table had a menu detailing the Harry Potter themed drinks that were on offer- everything from Pumpkin Juice and Butterbeer to Fire Whiskey. The drinks themselves really did taste how you would imagine them to. You could be forgiven for thinking you had stumbled in to the Leaky Cauldron.

The event drew in quite a crowd, which is both a testament to HUS, as well as the amount of Potterheads that are in Liverpool. The quiz master was dressed in appropriate robes and had a plethora of wise-cracks to go along with questions- only some of them were cheesy. After we had all scribbled down our answers, we were told to swap papers with the table next to us for marking- it was all very primary school, which only added to the nostalgia-fest. The winning team got a £100 drinks voucher for the bar. Alas it wasn’t my team that won but we did get very close. We also got the loudest cheer for our team name “Neville Gonna Give You Up, Neville Gonna Let You Down,” however we failed to win the prize for best name because a team the night before had used the very same one and won. Obviously dark magic at work.

Overall, we all felt like the event was a triumph. The organisers had clearly put a lot of effort into the quiz night and it payed off. It was a fantastic change for those of us who may be becoming a bit wary with the usual clubbing scene and wanting something a bit different.

It seems like HUS is really making a name for itself as a unique and interesting venue with a wide range of events lined up for the future.
