Harry Potter fans, prepare to lose your sh*t. There's a Harry Potter-themed bar in Toronto and Montreal called The Lockhart, and whether you're traveling by broom or by floo powder, you'll want to check it out. References to the J.K. Rowling-penned series include "a hidden Deathly Hallows symbol" and "a small collection of Harry Potter POP! dolls," plus cocktails with names like "Befuddlement Draught," "The Shacklebolt," and "Ludo's Debt." There's even a drink with such an obscure reference you'll get it on the house if you can figure it out. See some photos from inside the bar now!

A neon sign references this quote from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well." I'm not crying. You're crying.
"Potions & elixirs" is painted on a brick wall — but do they have amortentia?
The owners, Paris Xerx and Matt Rocks, look like a couple of handsome wizards.
The bar's version of a dark and stormy — "house-infused spiced rum using Gosling" — is called The Shacklebolt after Auror turned Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt.
The name of the bar, The Lockhart, references our favorite ladies' man/professor we love to hate, Gilderoy Lockhart.
Watch out for Death Eaters and "Tequila Death Shots."
Best part? You can read the entire series in the bar.
We're definitely a fan of their "employee of the month."
