Exhibit will mark the 20th anniversary of publication of The Philosopher’s Stone.
The British Library is to mark the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone with a special exhibition.
The exhibition will open on October 20, 2017 and run through until February 28, 2018.
From medieval descriptions of dragons and griffins, to the origins of the philosopher’s stone, the exhibition will take readers on a journey to the heart of the Harry Potter stories.
It will showcase a range of wizarding books, manuscripts and objects, and combine centuries-old British Library treasures with original material from Bloomsbury’s and J.K. Rowling’s archives.
Jamie Andrews, head of culture and learning at the British Library, said: “We at the British Library are thrilled to be working with J.K. Rowling and with Bloomsbury to mark the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter, and to inspire fans with the magic of our own British Library collections.”
Tickets to the exhibition will be on sale from spring 2017 at www.bl.uk.
