DO YOU know your Basilisks from your Hippogriffs? Or even your Lumos spell from your Nox spell?
Well South Dublin County Council is giving local primary schools the chance to flex their Harry Potter knowledge and enter quizzes being held in Tallaght, Lucan, Clondalkin and Ballyroan libraries.
This is the perfect opportunity for Harry Potter fans out there to show just how big of a fan they are, as they along with their schoolfriends can band together in teams of six and represent their school at local libraries this month.
South Dublin County Council has urged all local schools to enter teams that have a good knowledge of the now legendary JK Rowling series, with the local authority promising a day of great fun as the halls of Hogwarts seemingly come to life.
Each of the libraries will hold heats, with students in fourth to sixth class being invited to enter in teams of up to six for the chance to lift a House Cup among other prizes at the grand final on the day of Harry Potter Book Night.
Tallaght Library’s heats will take place on Monday, January 28 from 10:30am to 12:30pm. Schools interested in booking a place can email: talib@sdublincoco.ie or call 014630073.
Clondalkin Library will be hosting their heats on the same day, but at the earlier time of 10am. Local schools can email: clondalkin@sdublincoco.ie or phone 014593315.
Lucan Library’s heats are set to take place on Wednesday, January 30 at 10am. Lucan-based schools can email: lucan@sdublincoco.ie or call 016216422 to enter the competition.
Ballyroan Library will be holding their heats the very next day on Thursday, January 31 from 10am also. Those looking to enter a team can email: ballyroan@sdublincoco.ie or call 014941900.
Booking is essential for the heats. The top three teams from each library will go forward to the final on Thursday, February 7 at 11am.
