Neighbors Sumpter and Aimee Phelps have poured time, supplies and community spirit into Oak Park's Diagon Alley, a replica of the Harry Potter location.
Along with the Diagon Alley replica, each year, they also decorate Oak Park's Halloween House, across the street from the replica.
Both Halloween House and Diagon Alley are made possible by neighborhood teamwork and are free for the public to enjoy. When the lights come on at night on 33rd Ave at 4th Street, it looks magical.
Both Sumpter and Phelps want Diagon Alley to keep expanding — while simultaneously growing community interest in reading and literature. They say they hope a currently vacant church at the end of the alley could become a neighborhood library.
Organizers of the festivities say they hope to continue to expand, including adding additional characters from children's literature.
Phelps says, "it's a lot of fun, really good neighbors in this space we want to continue to give back."
Organizers say they'd like to see more characters from children's books come to life down the street on the other side of Diagon Alley if they get more artists to volunteer.
Trick or treaters can come to both Diagon Alley and Halloween House across the street for free candy on Halloween night. Lights come on at 5:30 and turn off at 11 pm.
