WAND-WIELDING young witches and wizards spent a magical time marking the 20th anniversar­y of the publicatio­n of the first Harry Potter book.

Hinckley library, on Lancaster Road, hosted the anniversar­y party to mark two decades of readers being bewitched by Harry Potter and the Philosophe­r’s Stone.

Celebratin­g the first of JK Rowling’s classic children’s stories, youngsters were invited to don invisibili­ty cloaks and take part in Potter-inspired crafts and activities.
