Attention all aspiring witches and wizards! From February 6 to 9, the Night of Harry Potter Books returns for a spellbinding edition focused on caring for magical creatures. This is the perfect chance to dive into the world of the most famous wizard and meet fantastic beasts… without risking a misplaced spell!
What's on the agenda? Magical activities in 380 bookstores across France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. Here in Marseille and its surroundings, several bookstores will transform into real Hogwarts classrooms to give muggles a total immersion experience: Nozika and Les Voix des Chapitres in Marseille; Librairie Goulard and Le secret des sorciers in Aix-en-Provence; Les Vagabondes in Miramas; Espace Culturel Leclerc Arles; L'aventure créative in Bouc Bel Air; Aristoloche Pistoloche in Pélissanne; and L'Hippogriffe in Rognac.
Fantastic creatures and magical challenges
Prepare...Get ready to encounter majestic hippogriffs, mischievous Nifflers, and fire-breathing dragons (well, almost)! Alongside an atmosphere worthy of Professor Brûlopot's class, there will be games, quizzes, and challenges for fans of all ages. Let's not forget costume ideas to perfect your wizard outfit.
Thanks to Gallimard Jeunesse, every participating bookstore has received an activity booklet to ensure a magical experience. Whether you're a bold Gryffindor, a cunning Slytherin, a kind Hufflepuff, or a curious Ravenclaw, this 2025 edition promises to be unforgettable! So, put on your capes, prepare your potions, and head to the nearest bookstore to celebrate the magic of reading.
