Harry Potter: A History of Magic will showcase treasures from the British Library as well as new material from J.K. Rowling.
The British Library will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone next year with a new exhibition celebrating the magic of J.K. Rowling’s ‘Potter’ universe.
The exhibition will open on 20 October 2017 and feature magical treasures and wizarding books from the British library’s own collection, as well as unseen material from Bloomsbury and J.K. Rowling.
The 20th anniversary fun won’t stop there: next year Bloomsbury will publish anniversary house edition versions of Philosopher’s Stone with new artwork themed around the four Hogwarts houses.
Harry Potter Fan Zone (HPFZ) has been a thriving part of the online Harry Potter fandom since 2003. Beginning as a Wizarding World fan site, it lives on today as an ever-growing independent archive, preserving and cataloging book covers, chapter art, movie posters, collector guides and more.
For over twenty years it has remained a one-man labour of love. If you’ve enjoyed exploring the archive and would like to support the project, you can buy me a Butterbeer.
