Harry Potter Night 2025

On Friday 7th February the Librarians transformed Bishop Luffa Library for one night only into our very own Hogwarts as part of National Storytelling week celebrations in school.    Year 7 and 8 students came to take part in Potions, Care of Magical Creatures and look at the History of Hogwarts museum, plus a very lively Quidditch practice.  Students could also relax in the Owlery and shop at Honeydukes for magical treats like pumpkin pasties, Fizzing Whizzbees, and of course Every-Flavour Beans. The young witches and wizards were sorted into Hogwarts houses and for each activity had the chance to earn points for their house, including for a particularly fiendish quiz.  On the night Hufflepuff were victorious as winners of the quiz and overall champions of the night.

Each Hufflepuff student received a small prize.  Prizes were also presented for the best costumes.  “Harry Potter Night is on the surface about bringing Students together to have some fun,” said the Librarians.  “But it’s also about nurturing a love of stories and literature in our pupils that will last their whole lives, and it’s obvious when you look at some of our guests tonight just how magical and life-changing that can be.”
