The award for Dad of the Year goes to Jon Chambers. 

Over in Seattle, Jon built a life-size Diagon Alley for his daughters, who are totally crazy about Harry Potter. 

Speaking to E! News, he said 'In the summer I was having a conversation with my girls, Haley and Avery, about doing something fun for Halloween this year. In their minds there was only one choice, a Harry Potter theme. My youngest daughter Avery said 'Diagon Alley' emphatically. I said 'Ok.'

The girls then went outside with their chalk and began drawing the plans for it. Can't. 

Jon's project has gone viral on Instagram.

Jon told E! that the project cost more than $3,000 and will be open through Christmas. So far they've had about 4,000 visitors so far.
