These sets will be given out for free,  while supplies last, starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday,  Dec 22.  The seven book Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, has received recognition and multiple awards, including a Hugo award in 2001 for “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” as well as numerous listings on Notable Books, Editor’s choice lists, and Best Books lists, such as The New York Times.

Harry Potter, an 11-year old orphan, lives with his Aunt and Uncle - the miserable Dursleys and their abominable son, Dudley. His room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn’t had a birthday party in eleven years. But then a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And there he finds not only friends, flying sports on broomsticks, and magic in everything from classes to meals, but a great destiny that’s been waiting for him …  if he can survive the encounter. Throughout the series, Harry learns the truth about himself, his family and the terrible evil that haunts the magical world.

The new special edition boxed set of the complete Harry Potter series was released in August 2018, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. These collections will be given out first come first serve, and only one set per family please.  All 8 Harry Potter films are set to screen for free in the Spring, leaving time to read the series in advance.  The entire film schedule will be available with the books.  For additional information, please call the theater (2 Theater St., Damariscotta) at 563-3424.

“Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both influencing injury, and remedying it.” Enjoy the magic of the season with the words of Harry Potter and Lincoln Theater’s Stories to Screen book giveaway.
