The Donald W. Reynolds Library Serving Baxter County will transform into a wizarding school on Saturday, November 14, as it hosts Harry Potter Day to conclude its fall Read | Write | Ignite Literary Series. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the library, located at 300 Library Hill in Mountain Home.
Designed for fans of all ages, the festivities will include wand-making workshops, a Hogsmeade-style village, scavenger hunts, house sorting, and house-themed games. Participants are encouraged to dress as their favorite characters from J.K. Rowling's beloved series, but casual attire is also welcome.
The event marks the finale of a series that launched on August 25. Throughout the season, library patrons collected punches on event participation cards, which could be redeemed for prizes. Harry Potter Day offers the final opportunity to earn a punch.
As part of the series, the library also hosted a five-week Harry Potter-themed crochet class this fall, where children and teens created house scarves while listening to the full-cast audiobook of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone."
