On Thursday May 6th 2010, the Ontario science centre held their annual fundraiser Innovators Ball, this year titled ‘Midnight Spell’.

In addition to special entertainment provided by award-winning magicians and illusionists, all guests were welcomed to enjoy the Harry Potter Exhibition. The guests were able to experience the world of Harry Potter through experiences such as sorted into their favorite Hogwarts house by the magical Sorting Hat, tossing a “quaffle” or pulling a screaming mandrake from its pot in Herbology.
The LG Innovators’ Ball, wrapped up with an after-party for more than 1000 guests. Party guests were in for a mystical delights with a trio of Toronto’s top DJs to entertain as the clock strikes midnight.
