Bloomsbury UK is gearing up for a big year with the 20th anniversary celebrations of the publication of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” looming. The anniversary of the first “Harry Potter” book will be celebrated on June 26, 2017, and in order to celebrate the date, Bloomsbury is planning several special occasions.
Exciting news, there are now more “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” books to look forward to this November! Bloomsbury UK has announced that it will be publishing a range of “Fantastic Beasts” tie-in books to coincide with the film release.
As two people who have both seen and read the play, we (Alison and Sophie) have a lot of thoughts about the experience. Overall, both of us are entirely infatuated with the show, though we do acknowledge its faults. Here, we hope to be able to explain the experience of experiencing this story in both of its forms and how we think that affects our take on it. WARNING: This piece contains major spoilers for the plot and set of “Cursed Child”.
Back at San Diego Comic-Con a couple of weekends ago, Eddie Redmayne (Newt Scamander) delighted the Hall H crowd by handing out Newt’s wand to everyone there. Well, it’s good news for those of us who want to get our hands on some “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” merchandise. It looks like we won’t have long to wait.
It was a busy weekend for “Harry Potter” and Young Adult book lovers at the UK’s Young Adult Literature Convention (YALC), hosted at London’s Film and Comic Con.

There’s only a few days now until the script of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – Parts 1 & 2” is released, and “Harry Potter” fans all over the world are gearing up for midnight releases. Some “Harry Potter” fans started celebrating early, by taking to the streets of New York with their “Harry Potter” books to celebrate the upcoming release.
