Attention all adult fans of the Harry Potter books. If you really feel that you must go to the Harry Potter Read-A-Thon next month, by all means, please try to act like adults and not overgrown kids. And please, please, please try not to frighten the children there by insisting on dressing up as horrible, creepy grown-up versions of the books’ leads. You know who you are. We all saw photos of you standing in line for the last book. Everyone alive thanks you in advance for your consideration.

All-Day Read-a-Thon and Live Webcast to Commemorate 10th Anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone at Scholastic on September 23, 2008

The fun begins at 8:00 AM on September 23, 2008 and doesn’t end until the last page has been read!

Fans of all ages can also view the event on a live webcast at www.scholastic.com/readharry, and those in New York will get a chance to sit in the throne used by J.K. Rowling at Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall, and read a passage from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone aloud.
