Celebrate 20 Years of Harry Potter at...Description
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take a stroll down Diagon Alley?
Imagine walking into Ollivanders to pick out your wand or Flourish and Blotts to collect your Hogwarts school books. Maybe you’d even swing by Sugarplum’s Sweets Shop to fill your sugar craving.
Join us at the Dover Public Library for a trip down Diagon Alley on Saturday, July 29 from 9am to 12pm for an early celebration of Harry Potter’s birthday. The event will end with a Harry Potter trivia competition at 12 pm.
Attendees will receive their very own acceptance letter to Hogwarts and be sent on their way to Diagon Alley to collect their school supplies. Stops include Ollivanders to make wands; Quality Quidditch Supplies to practice the famous wizarding sport; Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions to finger-knit a scarf; Flourish and Blotts to make a mini Monster Book of Monsters; Scribbulus Writing Instruments to create a writing quill; and Magical Menagerie to decorate a dragon egg.
Individuals are invited to dress in their finest witch and wizard wardrobes to participate in a costume contest for a Harry Potter gift basket. Photos of costume participants will be taken throughout the day and then voted on by the public on the library’s website until Tuesday, August 1. Another gift basket will be awarded to the winning team in the Harry Potter trivia competition.
In addition, witches and wizards are asked to bring a non-perishable item for the “Feed the Muggles!” Food Drive. All donations will go to the Community Action Partnership of Strafford County’s food pantry. The drive is sponsored by OWLS, a local community service group affiliated with the library and a chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance.
