Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Party
Join us for a party celebrating all things Harry Potter as we mark the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone! We have a full slate of fun activities planned for the afternoon, including:
Sorting
Before you enter the store, pay a visit to the Sorting Hat outside. There, you’ll receive your house assignment, along with a special Harry Potter name and name tag.
Trivia
Keep a sharp eye as you peruse our stacks! We’re hiding trivia questions around the shop. Return your answers for a chance to win prizes—ranging from a bag of Bertie Bott’s to a trip to the Room of Requirement.
Coloring
Celebrating with young wizards and witches? Stop by our coloring table in the front of the shop. We’ll have a variety of HP patterns awaiting your artistic flourishes.
Tattoos
Celebrate the boy who lived by decorating your brow with a (temporary) lightning bolt tattoo.
Recommendations
Still looking to fill the void you’ve felt since the last page of Deathly Hallows? Stop by our table of HP-inspired recommendations for all ages—you’re sure to find a future favorite.
Costume Contest
Our culminating event! Join our costume parade at 3:45 p.m., to be followed by judging. Winners will receive their very own pet from the Magical Menagerie.
Refreshments
This ain’t our first summer in Houston. We’ll be serving up gillywater and polyjuice potion outside.
When: Saturday, June 30, 3:00 PM
Where: Blue Willow Bookshop, 14532 Memorial Drive, Houston, TX 77079
