Our annual Harry Potter Birthday Celebration is back with a bang! Join us at the Library for a variety of fun, Potter-themed events to celebrate.
Pottering Around the UK
Saturday, July 24 | 1:30-2:30 p.m.
On Saturday, we'll kick off the festivities as we travel vicariously with Anglophile and former UK resident Claire Evans as she takes us on a historic, scenic, architectural, and occasionally culinary tour of Harry Potter's magical world. From London to Scotland and points in between, admire the beautiful real-life locations chosen for the films.
This event will be available through WebEx and live-streamed in the Library's Community Room, where we'll enjoy the sights together, have some fun, and give away a few prizes for attendees! Registration is required for online attendance but not for the in-person event.

Monday, July 26-Thursday, July 29 | 10:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Hagrid has been blamed for a crime and needs your help to prove his innocence! You and up to four friends will scour the Forbidden Forest for clues and find your way back out again, all within 20 minutes.

Fantastic Beasts
Friday, July 30 | 2:00-3:00 p.m.

Friday, July 30 | 3:00-4:00 p.m.
Then, at 3:00 p.m., we'll celebrate in style at our first-ever Wizard Rock concert featuring The Mudbloods. The Mudbloods are a popular indie rock band based in Austin that plays Harry Potter-inspired music. Their albums are available for streaming via Bandcamp.
