The Coalition for the Vendors of Magical Society announced that between the 28th of March and the 2nd of April, various members of their organization would be setting up shop in the streets of Hogsmeade selling magical, Easter-related memorabilia, food, toys. The coalition will kick off its event on Wednesday with the sale of its nationwide-famous greeting cards, this time specialized to fit the holiday.

After speaking with the spokesperson for the organization, Mr. Guthrie Gutter, he had this to say: “While we appreciate the support of the community for our vendors and our organization, we warn them to remain wary of non-affiliated vendors who may attempt to exploit the occasion to cause harm and otherwise misfortune to those willing to purchase their goods and services. After the inconveniences experienced earlier at the month at a non-affiliated event in Hogsmeade, the coalition has no desire to see any more distress come to our customers.”

The organization also asked us to remind any wishing to participate in the magical side of the holiday that all affiliated and approved vendors will be marked by a yellow stamp of a approval with the words “Coalition for the Vendors of Magical Society” printed in a circular pattern. The seals are resistant to magic and cannot under any circumstances be tampered with. Copies and otherwise fake stamps can be easily switched colors with a color-changing spell.
