Dallas Mavericks vs. Milwaukee Bucks (Harry Potter Night)

The Dallas Mavericks take on the Milwaukee Bucks at the American Airlines Center on Monday, December 14, as part of a Harry Potter Night theme. It's one of seven theme nights the Mavs have lined up for the 2026-27 season, and this one is for the Potterheads. If you're into the series, you'll want to get the special ticket pack rather than a standard ticket: it comes with a Mavs x Harry Potter hat, and the team is encouraging fans to show up in Hogwarts attire. There will also be themed concessions and in-arena entertainment tied to the night.

It's one of three theme nights the Mavs have scheduled for December. A few days later, on December 19, is the Holiday Game, which features a pregame showing of A Charlie Brown Christmas and a Snoopy bobblehead. Then on December 26 comes Space Jam Night, with an appearance by Bugs Bunny and a Mavs x Space Jam Tune Squad jersey. Each of these has its own ticket pack and giveaways that you won't get with a regular ticket, so if you're planning to hit more than one, keep that in mind.

The regular season opens on October 21 in Houston, so by the time the Bucks roll into town on December 14, the Mavs will be well into their campaign. If you're going to be there, the Harry Potter hat is the one to grab for this particular night, and the Hogwarts gear is welcome in the stands.
