One Texas event is taking the phrase "Christmas magic" to a whole new level this year.

Diagon Alley ATX's Hogwarts Castle in southwest Austin is making a few changes for the first time ever.

Joel Pace told KXAN, "At the end of Halloween we didn’t quite do as well with fundraising because of the pandemic so we decided to keep it up longer."

The Pace family turned their Harry Potter Halloween display into a "Yule Ball" with blue, white, and silver accents.

There are Christmas trees, lights, magical floating candles, and even "snow". The lights are times to music, making it a fun experience.

Pace said, "It's best when it's dark just to see the lights really pop."

There are also some secret gems that are "hidden in plain sight."

The Pace family is asking for those who visit the display to not walk on their property. The display is located in the Vintage Place neighborhood.

The light show is running every half hour from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. during the week days and from 5:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
