I knew I’d have a difficult time adjusting to life without Harry. I love the Harry Potter books and have savored reading each one of them. What I miss most about them, though, is the excitement that each book release brought. One of the things that struck me about the spectacle that accompanied each book release was how people from so many different walks of life embraced these books. I’m delighted that, although there won’t be any more books in the Harry Potter series, we can look forward to two more movies.
I’m not the only one still struck with Harry. To celebrate Harry’s birthday and the release of the new movie, the Milwaukee Public Library is hosting two events. Join us!

Get ready for the movie release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and celebrate the birthday of Harry Potter, the famous boy wizard. Activities include treats, games, prizes, and Quidditch! Registration is required.

This might be the perfect time to reread one of the books in the Harry Potter series. If you’ve never listened to them, I recommend an audio book. The 17+ disks make for a lot of listening, but Jim Dale’s narration brings JK Rowling’s words to life. Welcome, back Harry. I’ve missed you.
