No word whether we’re having that tournament — and if Voldemort will crash it — but get ready for the Second Annual Magical Witchcraft and Wizardry Yule Ball hosted by Old Nick’s Pub. The ball will feature face painting for kids, live music and vendors pushing magical wares. It’ll be a day full of magical mischief and delight. Just make sure you get dressed up and cast your finest hair-straightening and tooth-cor- recting spells because there’s a $100 cash prize for best costume — chosen by popular vote at midnight. The Second Annual Magical Witchcraft and Wizardry Yule Ball us noon to 8 pm Saturday, Dec. 15, at Old Nick’s Pub, located at 211 Washington Street.
