Heather Bellwood, children’s and outreach librarian, said: “We’re so excited to be joining up with schools, libraries, bookshops and community throughout the UK and Ireland – indeed the world – to celebrate the third annual Harry Potter Book Night.

“In the library, the Harry Potter series of book is always high in our issues and the books have been replaced again and again as each new generation discovers the magic of Harry and his friends.

“Last year, we had a lot of adults wanting to come to the children’s event so by popular demand we have decided to offer the event for adults later in the evening.”

Contact the Central Library on (01429) 272905 or call in to book tickets.
