The Great Potter Day was a success - thanks for coming!

Dear patrons! We want to thank everyone who helped making the Great Potter Day 2024 svo memorable. Around 800 guest came and employees were a little bit fewer. The magic flowed around and through the library and the joy was pure and true!

The first three movies about Harry were shown in the basement with Icelandic audio. So much fun!

The talents in colouring and drawing in the children's department were unbelievable.

The HP orienteering game was fantastic and popular. Participants were awarded with envelopes filled with jellybeans. About 500 envelopes were made!

The sock game was also fun. You were supposed to guess how many socks were in a big jar and staff members could sometimes overhear the participants whispering: "Oh, it must be around 15-500 socks there!" Answers will be reviewed tomorrow!

The Ollivander Wand workshop was popular and the kids' creativity was unbelievable!

So much fun and thanks again for coming!!

Harry's popularity doesn't seem to decrease. The books are always being borrowed, the boardgames and games as well, and of course the films. The day was such a success that the online media site mbl.is contact our project manager, Dagný Davíðsdóttir, and a link to that interview, that news story, is below (it's in Icelandic!)
