You Named that Bookcover!

Another bewitching week of Name That Bookcover has run its course - and there's another lucky Missoulian who has earned a sweet MPL booklight! Congrats to Maggie D, who submitted a correct guess at the library Accounts Desk this week!

Here's a synopsis of J.K. Rowling's wildly popular first tome of magic and wizardry:
Orphaned in infancy, Harry Potter is raised by reluctant parents, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, an odious couple who would be right at home in a Roald Dahl novel. Things go from awful to hideous for Harry until, with the approach of his eleventh birthday, mysterious letters begin arriving addressed to him! His aunt and uncle manage to intercept these until a giant named Hagrid delivers one in person, and to his astonishment, Harry learns that he is a wizard and has been accepted (without even applying) as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There's even more startling news: it turns out that his parents were killed by an evil wizard so powerful that everyone is afraid to so much as utter his name, Voldemort. Somehow, though, Harry survived Voldemort's attempt to kill him, too, though it has left him with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead and enormous celebrity in the world of magic, because Voldemort vanished following his failure. But is he gone for good? --Michael Cart From: Syndetics Solutions, Inc. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
