There are strong emotions ahead as Coliseu Porto Ageas will host the event to mark the launch of "Harry Potter magical places", the newest book by British renowned writer J. K. Rowling.

The illustrated album, edited by Lello Bookstore, will be released on 11 September, and it is a co-production with the American Publishing House Insight Editions.

The book is released in English with an average print run of 4,000 copies, complemented by a strong visual component and inspired by the adventures of Harry Potter, the Wizard.

Two days later, on 13 September, Coliseu Porto Ageas hosts an event to mark this exclusive release, starting at 8.30pm. This show will pay tribute to the fantastic universe created by J. K. Rowling.

Access to the event is reserved to those who buy the book, as the first 2700 are immediately granted a free entry.

Sales take place at the Armazéns do Castelo or via Lello Bookstore's site (the first 500 hundred buyers are granted an entry).

All buyers are also entitled to winning two trips to London and to the Warner Brothers Studios, where the eight movies of the harry Potter saga have been shot.

One of the prizes is meant to the best costume of the evening, as fans are invited to attend the party at Coliseu Porto Ageas dressed as their favourite Harry Potter character.

The second prize will be granted to the fan that discovers the purposeful error inscribed in the book.

Throughout the evening, magic happens at Coliseu, with illusionist from Porto, Helder Guimarães and Lisbon Film Orchestra, joining the party, which is based in original scores of harry Potter movies.

Also on that occasion, Lello Bookstore will display the copy of the book "The Sorcerer's Stone", recently acquired by the Bookshop by 70 thousand euros.
