Obviously, we’re all HUGE Harry Potter fans at Scholastic. Celebrating his birthday on July 31st didn’t seem like enough…so we’re celebrating ALL MONTH LONG at The Scholastic Store in New York City. To bring the magic of Harry Potter to loyal fans and new generation of young readers, The Scholastic Store will hold FREE daily activities from 1-4pm every day
Added bonus: For every copy of Harry Potter purchased in July at The Store, we’ll will donate a copy to The Pajama Program, a nonprofit organization that provides books and pajamas to children in need.
Here’s the schedule:
- Creature Feature Sunday: We’ll feature a different animal from Harry’s world every Sunday.
- Muggle Mondays: Muggles (non-magical people) can try Hogwarts classes such as Divination and Potions.
- Trivia Tuesday: Put your Harry Potter knowledge to the test. Answer a trivia question in store to win a prize.
- Wizard-Craft Wednesdays: Kids can use their own creative magic and get crafty!
- Three Broomsticks Thursdays: Visiting Muggles can sample specialties from the Three Broomsticks.
- Fun Fact Fridays: Check our Facebook page for a new Fun Fact video from the Harry Potter team of Scholastic editors including Arthur A. Levine and Cheryl Klein!
- House Party Saturdays: Each week ends with a celebration in the style of each Hogwarts house (Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor)!
*Special Harry Potter birthday at the Gryffindor House Party on Saturday, July 26 with crafts, games, costumed characters, and more!
We’ll be posting details for each week on The Store’s Facebook page, so be sure to check back for details. Not in New York? Don’t worry! We’ll be sharing more ways to celebrate Harry, so stay tuned!
