Harry Potter event in Fall River to feature characters, contests, costumes, owls, and more!

According to a release, for one evening only the Fall River Public Library will become Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as it celebrates Harry Potter Night.

The event, which will take place on Wednesday, December 3rd from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., will be held in various locations throughout the library. Fans of the popular book series by author J. K. are encouraged to dust off their magician’s robes and ready their wands for an evening filled with magic and surprises!
