June 26, 1997: A Magical Day

The summer is an excellent time to get a lot of reading done.

I always love to do a lot of reading. But I find that, especially in the summer, I love to reread some old favorites. And my absolute favorite is Harry Potter.



On this day in 1997, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published in the UK. J.K. Rowling would go on to write six more books in the Harry Potter series, each one more popular than the last.

Why not try out Harry Potter this summer? For the first time, or for the second time, or for the seventh time? Read the books, watch the movies, listen to the audio books on long car trips. Go on a fantastical adventure to Hogwarts with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Immerse yourself in the excellent writing, fascinating characters, and pure magic of the series.

And best of all, you can check everything out from your local library! Here's a list of the seven Harry Potter books (and movies!):

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (or Philosopher's, if you're in the UK!)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (movies include Part 1 and Part 2)

Happy reading!
