To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter, you can enter a magical competition! The winner will receive a school library make over in the style of Hogwarts, plus a whole trunk of Harry Potter books!
To enter, you must invent and design your own magical library. Please ask Miss Griffiths or Miss Bridge for a competition form. Be as creative as you can – what would a magical library have in it that would be different to a normal library?
Good luck!
