Breakfast at Hogwarts

The release of the 7th and last in the Harry Potter series...Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was celebrated by over a 100 people at the Timberglen Branch on Saturday, July 21! While they may have been listening to JK herself at the History Museum in London at midnight, the Timberglen neighborhood was getting beauty rest for the biggest celebration at the branch since opening day.

Children entered the Hogwarts Dining Hall (a.k.a. the auditorium) after being assisted by Professor Snape and the Sorting Hat to their chosen house. Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, Gryffindors and Slytherins were sitting with their housemates dining on a feast of Dragon Biscuits, Humbugs and Pumpkins Juice. Candles hung around highlighting the artwork of the Fat Lady among others. Students had the opportunity to win copies of past Harry Potter books as well as glow in the dark glasses, 7 tattoos and 072107 keychains. After a hearty breakfast, students made owls out of feathers and bags since many forgot to bring their own. Once the magical craft had been completed, children bustled throughout the library looking for dragon eggs. They returned to the auditorium to have their pictures taken and pick up all their prizes.

Harry Potter brings everyone out once again. Readers are Leaders and are celebrated at the Timberglen Branch Library!
