The British Council and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the country’s largest Harry Potter fan club, will host numerous events including interactive games, trivia and drawing contests.

Making its debut 20 years ago, the novel has become a firm favorite among young Vietnamese readers.

“Perfectly Magical!” takes place on Hanoi’s 19/12 book street on May 6-7 and HCM City’s Nguyen Van Binh street on May 13-14 .
