To celebrate
the 10th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Scholastic, the U.S. publishers of the series, will hold at their headquarters in New York City, the Harry Potter Cover to Cover Day event starting at 8 am on Tuesday, September 23rd.
Highlights will include:

Ellie Berger, President of Trade Books, Scholastic, said of the event:
We are thrilled to celebrate the first decade of Harry Potter's magical influence on books and reading, right here at Scholastic headquarters. What makes this anniversary special is seeing readers who have grown up with Harry celebrating alongside a new generation of readers who will just be beginning their Hogwarts journey.

Man, if only I didn't live on the opposite side of the country. This would be a fun event to go to. I've never been to a HP function before... I can imagine all the costumes! *sigh*
...in accordance with the prophecy.

I'd be very interested in seeing the new art work for the book. I wonder if it can be viewed without purcacing the book itself? I'll have to investigate this.
I hope everyone who goes has a terrific time, I know I would. Perhaps I'll catch some of the live broadcast.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

I love this idea of celebrating 10 years of Harry Potter... I love connecting the readers that grew up reading these amazing stories (like me) and the new readers that are discovering HP for the first time. I can't wait to hear about it from the lucky ones that get to go!

Sounds like a lot of fun. Hard to believe that it is only 10 years. Wonder what they will do for 100?

It's nice to know that some big companies don't tell you that you don't matter. Thank you, Scholastic, for putting out this nice new book. I look forward to buying it & saving it to read in November, perhaps on the 21st.
