Joplin Public Library (JPL) will host a celebration of all things Harry Potter on Friday, February 1. The festivities will begin in the Children’s Department promptly at 3:30 p.m., and the magic will end at 5:30 p.m.
Young wizards and witches who are in Kindergarten to 5th grade are invited to dress in costume to attend if they so choose. Muggles are also invited to attend, as JPL is a modern library that welcomes all!
Finally, we are in desperate need of wizards for Dumbledore’s Army! We need your help with a Scavenger Hunt to find and destroy the Horcruxes! Do not be dismayed if your wizardry is not up to snuff. Ollivander’s will be on-site to provide wands, and you will have several opportunities to practice spells.
Madam Rosemerta of the Three Broomsticks will serve butterbeer and Honeydukes will provide cookies to help you keep up the good fight!
Before you go, make sure to take your picture at Platform 9 ¾ and post it to social media with the tag #HP@JPL !
