Help Families Start a Harry Potter™ Journey on Hoopla This Summer!
The magical world of Harry Potter is ready to welcome a new generation of readers. This summer is the perfect time for families to start Harry Potter together. Children aged 7-10 are the ideal age group for starting Harry Potter and bringing their parents along with them.
Families are always seeking new adventures to take together, large and small. Summertime, with its sunny days and long, lazy evenings, is a great time for families to embark upon Harry’s magical journey. This summer, starting Harry Potter together is a fantastic way for families to grow closer while building a love of reading.
Illustrated Harry Potter Activity Sheets
Families can dive deeper into the Harry Potter series with themed, interactive activity sheets designed to complement each book. From crosswords to dot-to-dots, every activity is linked to a specific chapter, making it easy to pair them. There are several ways libraries can use these activity sheets to spark imagination and family bonding:
- Print out a stack and put them near the door for families to grab and go
- Use these activity sheets in summer reading programming
- Offer to patrons as a “prize” or incentive for starting the books and for accomplishing summer reading challenges
- Create a display of completed activity sheets in the library’s children’s area
- Hold a Harry Potter book day and feature these sheets as an activity
These activities can encourage children and families to discover the magic, friendship, and excitement of the wizarding world, especially during the summer, helping to nurture a lifelong love of reading.
