THE enduring appeal of a wizard who took the world by storm more than 27 years ago is very much alive and kicking in one corner of the Black Isle…

Moaning Myrtle was on hand to add to the atmosphere at Fortrose Library.

Fortrose Library staged its seventh Harry Potter evening with 20 children visiting the Magical Menagerie where they encountered dancing rat, giant purple toads, a stunning phoenix and even a Grindylow in a tank.

Youngsters took their wizarding skills to the arts and crafts and table at Fortrose Library,

They enjoyed making Bowtruckle terrariums before listening to a spooky reading from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

A convincing Bellatrix Lestrange in the making!

There were special congratulations to Moaning Myrtle and Bellatrix Lestrange, who won prizes for having the best costumes.

Essential reading for any Harry Potter fan!

Librarian Sya Bruce said: “Once again, the evening was a huge success and we can't wait until next year!".

As ever the set design at Fortrose was excellent.
