‘Harry Potter’ Back to Hogwarts Initiative to Donate Over 200,000 Books

To celebrate the annual Back to Hogwarts Day on September 1, global publishers are launching a massive literacy campaign to donate over 200,000 Harry Potter books to schools, libraries, and hospitals. Major partners like Scholastic and Bloomsbury are coordinating these efforts across several countries, focusing on providing physical copies and audiobooks to underserved communities and educators. Beyond physical donations, digital platforms are removing waitlists for eBooks and offering free streaming of the series' first installment on various audio services. This charitable push coincides with a major fan event in London and growing excitement for the franchise's upcoming television adaptation on HBO. By making the stories more accessible, the initiative aims to foster a love for reading among a new generation of fans worldwide.
