#HarryPotterBookNight

On Thursday 6th February, fans are invited to bring out their dress robes, have their wands at the ready and gather at Waterstones Bluewater to enjoy the sixth annual Harry Potter Book Night.

The theme this year is the Triwizard Tournament as featured in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth volume in the bestselling series. In the book Harry and three other champions face challenges that test them in different ways – their magical prowess, their daring and their powers of deduction.

From 3pm, at Waterstones bookshop in Bluewater, wizards, witches and muggles are invited to take part in a tournament of their own, testing their skills with an array of bewitching activities.

Nicki Golding, Events Manager at Waterstones Bluewater says:

“This is by far my favourite annual event in our store. We are extremely lucky to have so many witches and wizards in the local area who come and visit us year on year and make it such a popular evening.”

Since its launch in 2015, Harry Potter Book Night has quickly established itself as one of the biggest events in the literary calendar, enjoyed by fans of all ages in bookshops all around the UK. The annual event aims to keep the Harry Potter magic alive and to encourage younger readers to discover the adventures of the boy wizard for the first time.
