Potterverse Volunteer Positions
Help bring the magic to life!
If you’re a teen or adult looking to create behind-the-scenes magic, volunteering at this event is meant for you!
Our team of volunteers needs help with everything from decorating the Great Hall and Forbidden Forest to serving butterbeer and candy to helping people make wands and potions. We are also always looking for performers to dress up and act out characters for our stage. Check out all the opportunities below and sign up today!
There will be a 1-hour room reset and pizza break from 2:30-3:30 for all volunteers. Setup and/or cleanup is factored into the volunteer times. End times could be earlier based on cleanup speed.

Volunteers will help sell galleons, merchandise and raffle tickets at this booth. Galleons are only available for pre-sale or at Gringotts Bank and are the form of currency used in Potterverse for purchasing butterbeer, candy and possibly snacks from the Hogwarts Express trolley (if we have one). The adjacent Diagon Alley booth will sell various wizarding merchandise and raffle tickets. Volunteers need to be friendly and efficient, as these booths will be very busy.
