But the announcement in 2013 of three “Fantastic Beasts” films, a London play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child“, opening this weekend, and a corresponding book release of the script has expanded the Potter universe and re-awakened fandom.

The new play is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and received mostly five star reviews. After midnight the book will be sold at its regular price of $29.99.
Those eager to find out what happens in the time-twisting instalment can read the review of 10-year-old Toby L’Estrange, a speed-reading prodigy who has been challenged by Amazon to write the first review of the new Harry Potter story.
For some, the date is a pleasant and nostalgic reminder of Harry’s first birthday in the series, when Hagrid brought Harry a cake on the same night he told the boy wizard that he was capable of magic.
Harry Potter fanatics have a lot to celebrate this Sunday.
On Sunday July 31, fly on over to Cisco Brewery for an adult Harry Potter party with a Butterbeer tasting, costumes, a photo booth, along with giveaways, prizes, and all the rest the brewery has to offer.
The unknown factor they had to think about was whether people would be as interested in reading a play as they have been in reading the seven novels.
As of Wednesday, Frankenfield said, the library had 28 people on the hold list for physical copies of the book and 10 people on hold for e-books, and only one of those holds was placed on a juvenile library card. There will also be tickets on sale for only £20 or less to make the show more accessible to every wallet size.
The party starts at 11:30 p.m. Saturday for this release party, too.
Good news for Potter fans.
Sherman’s Books and Stationery is located at 5 Commercial Street. “We’ll also have Harry Potter crosswords and trivia”. “They want to see what the fuss is about”.
Harry Potter Birthday Party: 2 p.m., Bookmamas, 9 S. Johnson Ave.
“We have a whole bunch of coloring pages and stuff, some activities”, said manager Kaitlyn Veverka. “I’m excited. It’s going to be fun at the very least”.
