Celebrate Harry Potter Book Night 2019 with Illustrators Jim Kay and Chris Riddell

by Lucy O'Shea · January 15, 2019

With less than three weeks to go, Bloomsbury’s fifth Harry Potter Book Night is fast approaching! Once again, Waterstones Piccadilly in London has an amazing night planned for fans wanting to celebrate their favorite boy wizard on February 7.

Illustrators Jim Kay (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) and Chris Riddell (Tales of Beedle the Bard) will appear at their first ever joint event for a night of conversation and all things Potter. The theme for this year is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so attendees can expect to hear Kay and Riddell talk about their Hogwarts Houses, their favorite things about the Castle, and even whom they would like to share a common room with.

The event takes place at Waterstones Piccadilly on February 7 at 7 p.m., and tickets can be purchased from the Waterstones website. Each £10 ticket includes entry to the event, a Harry Potter Book Night pin badge, and entry into a raffle to win a limited number of prints signed by Kay or Riddell.

 

Harry Potter illustrators Jim Kay and @chrisriddell50 will be in conversation @WaterstonesPicc on 7th February to mark #HarryPotterBookNight, discussing all things Hogwarts. Tickets (£10) include this exclusive pin badge:https://t.co/wXYr3PiWr8 pic.twitter.com/HSIJdVQU4h
