First of all, THIS.
I feel like it’s my duty to let you know that there’s another HP story coming! I still have friends who are surprised by this news. Friends don’t let friends miss amazing stories.
Now that we have that big news out of the way, and hopefully your pre-order is successfully placed, how do you get your Harry Potter fix while you wait it out? Here are some ideas to keep you on your magical toes!
1. Listen to books 1-7 on Audible. We’ve been doing this over the summer, and have enjoyed it as much as reading the books. My son (age 7) is too young to read these on his own, and they’re too long for me to read aloud in one month, so the audiobooks have been an excellent solution. While the Harry Potter books are pretty pricey, you can score 2 free titles with an Audible free trial. I kept my subscription after my trial ended, because the Audible fee was much less expensive than one audiobook.
2. Attend one of the many HP parties going on at bookstores. Check with your local bookstore or library to see if they have something planned. I saw this sign at the Barnes and Noble in Johnson City.
3. Watch the movies! We have a Harry Potter movie marathon at least once a year at our house. The movies come on TV often, so check your local listings. We purchased the 8-DVD collection because we watch them so often.
4. Harry Potter coloring books and illustrated editions bring new life to the stories. This is a surprisingly fun activity to do together, especially as a rainy day activity while you’re watching one of the movies!
5. Brush up on your Potterspeak. Spells, foods, and creatures that only exist in the wizarding world can conjure up confusing vocabulary for Muggles. Refresh your memory while you’re waiting for Book 8!
One lucky reader will win a $20 Amazon gift card while waiting for the book!
Do you plan to read the new Harry Potter book?
I definitely do plan on reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child because I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and have been for a long time! The Harry Potter universe is the best!
I definitely plan on reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! Everyone in my family is a huge Harry Potter fan so we will probably fight over who gets to read it first 🙂

For sure! Loved the whole series and am so excited for another book! Our whole family has read all the books. My youngest has 4 times!!
Yes! Because I’m a huge Harry Potter fan 🙂
Possibly but I will have to re read the story first
I’m sure I will as soon as I get around to reading all the other books first.
I will read it after my daughter does. She loves to read Harry Potter.
I do not think so do not have the time right know
Me, no… but if there is ever a movie version, then that is what I would be getting for my sister.
I will read this book because I have read all the other Harry Potter books and enjoyed them.

I will buy it, but I will probably not read it until after I have had the chance to see the play.
I’m also obsessed with the movies. So excited for this book!
Have read all the other Harry Potter books.
Thanks for the contest.
Need Potter fix.
I don’t have as much time for reading as I would like, but I know my son will read it!
I wil def read the book!! I want to read anything harry Potter related and can’t wait for another movie!
Read every other one, why stop now?
I will read this book because I have read all the other Harry Potter books and enjoyed them
Probably not because I haven’t read or seen Harry Potter books/movies.
Yes I will be reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I read them with the grandkids!
I do not plan to read any of the Harry Potter series. I watched two of the movies (I know movies don’t usually do books justice) and I researched the author and what she wrote and I believe Christians should spend their time more wisely.
Been too long since the last Harry Potter.
Yes, I plan to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child because I enjoy these books!
Probably not because I haven’t read any Harry Potter books
More Potter, please.
Yes! I’ve already got my Amazon preorder in! I love Harry Potter!
I haven’t read ANY of the Harry Potter books (I’ve seen a few movies) but I own many of them. When I have the chance, I will sit down and read them all!

I like her writing.
Yes, I plan on reading the book. To be honest, I haven’t finished the actual series, yet. However, I’ve seen all the movies. It sounds really good and I’m interested to see how JK Rowling continues the story.
I do plan on reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child because I loved the Harry Potter series.
I’d like more Potter, please.
Yes, like her writing.
I would love to read it, after I finish the rest of the harry potter books
I finally preordered the book, but I still don’t think I am going to read it yet. I may go to a midnight release party too because those are always fun.
I’ll read anything she writes.
I’ve read all the other books, why stop now?
Yes, I love all her books.
I’m definitely reading it! I love Harry Potter and I’ve read all of the books, I was so excited when I heard about her writing new material
Yes, I do plan on reading it. I have read all of them.
I’ll probably read this, since I read all the other books.
I have not read the Harry Potter Series but I am a movie fan, so I guess I’ll probably wait until the Movie of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is released.
I watch the movies of Harry Pottet they where wonful. My son has the completed set of series in hard back books. I would stand in line forever just get the next book coming out.
I’ve read all the HP books, and will probably read the new ones too. I’m curious as to what she could possibly say. But what I’m really looking forward to is the Fantastic Beasts movie that is releasing later this year!
Yes, I want to read it.
I plan to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child because I have enjoyed all the other books.
My kids also plan to as well.
Potter, Potter, Potter!
SHe is such a great writer!
I would love to read this
I’ll probably read the new book – eventually. Right now I have a huge to-read list, including my own daughter’s five novels (and her sixth one is coming out in the next month or two).
I plan to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child because it looks like a most interesting story line.
I want to read more Harry Potter.
I really plan on reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child very soon. It looks like a have-to read book, so I won’t put it off very long.
I cant wait to read that new novel! You just wont see me on release day by any store though, want to avoid the stampedes! Haha. 🙂
Our family has chosen not to read this series.
