Bronx children and their families didn’t need to travel all the way to Hogwarts for a magical time! The Westchester Square Library hosted its third annual Harry Potter Book Night on Saturday, February 9 in honor of the classic J.K. Rowling literary series. During the whimsical event organized by children’s librarian Yilda Rodriguez, children participated in several Harry Potter-themed activities including House Sorting, trivia games and arts and crafts to create different magical items found throughout the Harry Potter books.
