Now that the Harry Potter saga has come to a close (don’t worry, there are no spoilers associated with this post!), OIF Director Judith Krug takes a look back at the publishing phenomenon surrounding everyone’s favorite boy wizard and the many, many attempts to restrict access to Harry and his adventures.

Judith’s observations are featured at I Love Libraries, ALA’s new initiative aimed at connecting those in the general public who love libraries with information and resources about how to help keep libraries strong. Her piece is one of many exploring Pottermania 2007.
