LIVE CHAT! Harry Potter
This just in via Owl Post -- the next live chat is all about your (and our) favorite boy wizard wonder!
WHEN: Saturday, July 25, 4-5 PM E.T. (1-2 PM E.T.)
TOPIC: Harry Potter!
In celebration of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in paperback on July 7th, we want to know what kids on THE STACKS think of this little* phenomenon that J. K. Rowling's cooked up.
And if you've only just picked up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone . . . you've got until July 25th to catch up! Embrace your inner Hermione-esque nerd, take the quiz to find out which Hogwarts house you belong to, and bring your Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin pride to the chat!
— STACKS Staffers
*When we say "little," think along the lines of Hagrid's "little" Norwegian Ridgeback dragon, Norbert.

I think that the new Harry Potter book sounds intresting. I don't read a lot of harry potter at all but this new book sounds cool and i wonder if they will have a movie for it.
