Vienna Patch's Weekend 'Get Out' Guide

Looking for ways to make your weekend "magical?" We've got a few ideas...

1.

Where/When: Theaters throughout the region will be debuting the film on Friday at 12:01 a.m.

Why Go: You may or may not have heard about this little movie premiering on Friday called "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2." As the billboards suggest, "It all ends" with this one, folks. You won't want to miss the mayhem.

Where/When: The Kennedy Center, 2700 F St., NW, Washington. Friday, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Why Go: Can't get your fill of witches and wizards this weekend? Check out Wicked at The Kennedy Center. Tickets to one of the most popular Broadway shows of the past decade will run you *slightly* more than tickets to the "Harry Potter" premier, but it'll still be less than a trip to the Big Apple!

Pricing: Tickets range in price from $37 to $250.
