For some your journey here was your very first while for others this is familiar ground. You enter the school with your fellow students and are lead to a grand hall to be seated and one by one the new students are called up to the front. Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, the new students are sorted into their Houses, join their newfound classmates, and with the Sorting Ceremony concluded enjoy one of the greatest dinners they’ll ever have before embarking on their challenging school year!

@PAXTriwizard on Twitter for updates on this year's PAX Thursday night shenanigans!

The Start-of-Term Feast is a yearly, buffet style, catered dinner held at Barça the night before PAXWest that gives PAXers, both new and old, a chance to hang out, eat a ton of great food, and get to know each other! It also gives everyone attending The Triwizard Drinking Tournament, a chance to eat before a merry night of drinking and charity fund raising which you should totally sign up for! https://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/212011/the-triwizard-drinking-tournament-10th-anniversary-fantastic-drinks-and-how-to-mix-them/p1 And yes, you are totally free to wear your TWDT costumes to this!
