by Jessica Barber · June 14, 2017

It’s a good year to be a Harry Potter fan, with 2017 marking the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. UK-based Harry Potter fans have another reason to celebrate this June since Pottermore is celebrating the occasion with a special offer: free access to the e-book!

All UK library users will have free access to Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone from June 26 to July 6 through digital library services OverDrive, BorrowBox from Bolinda, and Askews & Holts. That means library users can forget about the usual months-long waiting list; there will always be a copy available for the whole two-week span!

Now, no one has to miss out on the 20th-anniversary festivities! Check out the e-book, and then join the online discussion by using the tag #HarryPotter20 on social media, follow Pottermore’s Wizarding World Book Club on Twitter, or tune into MuggleNet’s own reread podcast, Alohomora!
