The Columbus Metropolitan Library has more than 1,000 copies of the Potter books – a level not reached by most books, especially those for children, said selection librarian Jennifer Young, who purchases children’s fiction and picture books for the system.

Update: Over 175,000 tickets were sold in the first eight hours, according to a press release. Wow!
Technical problems experienced by many fans to get tickets.
It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and is set “nineteen years later”.
The first round of tickets for the new play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child have sold out. “Please do not attempt to resell your tickets on alternative platforms, as patrons will not be admitted into the theatre”.
Since we finished the last page of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows back in 2007, weve been *hoping* J.K. Rowling would ever write another story about our favourite wizard.
The Australian noted that the new Harry Potter story will focus with Harry as “an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic” and his son Albus Severus in his first year at Hogwarts.
The main risk of not having got yourself a set of tickets to Cursed Child is that you’ll find out what happens before you get a chance to see it. However, it’s pretty likely that those who wish to find out everything before you can say Chocolate Frogs will get a chance to read it rather than see it. Play texts are usually on sale to accompany even much smaller scale productions.
And this was the scene as we logged on for tickets shortly after they went on sale – with a cool 25,439 people ahead of us in the queue.
As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places, the official teaser reveals.
The play will open at the Palace Theatre in London’s West End on 30 July 2016, following previews from 7 June 2016.
For those who miss out, there will be a weekly release online of 20 tickets for each performance every Friday at 1pm and a day ticket lottery with a further 20 seats released for the duration of its run.
As Harry Potter and the Cursed Child consists of two parts, customers may have to buy two tickets each in a few cases.

In addition, four special preview performances are planned for the end of May 2016 – details of where and how to obtain these tickets will be announced at a later date.
