The weeklong celebration begins at the end of February.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will bring back its annual House Pride Week on Broadway this month, with performances dedicated to fans in each Hogwarts house.

During House Pride Week, Ravenclaws will be celebrated at the performance on February 28, Gryffindors on March 1, Hufflepuffs on March 2, and Slytherins on March 3.
Fans are encouraged to attend the night dedicated to their house. The first 100 audience members who arrive at the Lyric Theatre each night may partake in a house-themed trivia game at 5:30 p.m., ahead of the show at 7 p.m. All audience members will also receive a commemorative button.

The lottery is open for entries through February 8 at noon, and entrants may request up to two tickets for their desired house's performance.
