August is peeking around the corner at us, with its “dog days” and its hints of harvest moons. We have one more event in the month of July on Wednesday, July 31st…. the birthday celebration of Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived. It has been twenty-one years since HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE was first published in the UK, and two years since the hardcover release of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD.
This year, our part will run from 12noon until 8pm.
