Harry Potter Book Night 4 February 2016




Young witches, wizards and other magical characters gathered together in Torfaen Libraries to celebrate Harry Potter Book Night. 


Children in Blaenavon and Cwmbran libraries began the evening by being placed into their houses by the Sorting Hat, after which they made their own wands, created mythical monsters, and took
part in a magical treasure hunt.

Harrys and Hermiones abounded as children dressed as their favourite characters, and chatted about their favourite moments from the books. 


Harry Potter Book Night is now in its second year and as always it was a delight to see children so enthusiastic and excited about books and reading.


Blaenavon Library’s new home at the World Heritage Centre couldn’t have been a better venue for this event. The building was originally a school and with its Victorian style school room, made a fantastic Hogwarts.


Both events were very successful, and were part of hundreds taking place across the UK in this national promotion organised by Bloomsbury, publisher of the Harry Potter books.
