Harry Potter News

J. K. Rowling just completed a new book, a book of fairy tales called “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” which is of course the volume that (WARNING SPOILER!) Dumbledore leaves Hermione in his will. (OKAY SPOILER OVER). Only seven copies have been made, one of which will be on sale in an auction house for charity.

Sadly our entire book budget for the year probably wouldn't buy it. We could pay the starting price, but it is going to rise so fast...


Also, Ms. Rowling is suing to block a publication from a “lexicon website” because she plans to publish her own HP Encyclopedia. So that is good news for all the die-hards out there.

I see another party in our future… Or at least a massive trivia night.

Harry and the Potters

Our Harry Potter release party drew 625 people. Pictures abound, and I'm not feeling up to posting them right now.

Harry and the Potters performed last week at our main branch library with Draco and the Malfoys oepning. Pictures are on our website. I went (on my own time) in my Hermione costume (already owned it) with a friend just for fun. Since I was there (in costume) and I'm (arguably) one of the biggest fans of Harry Potter stuff on staff I got to introduce the band. I kept up my Hermione guise and told the assembled crowd (primarily teens) that as schools both Muggle and magical were about to start they should be at home studying. It was fun. Great concert. See if you see me in the pictures!
