Harry Potter is more than a hype. Even 20 years after the German-language volumes were published by Carlsen Verlag, the magical stories about Harry, Hermione and Ron are as lively as they were on the first day. It goes without saying that the 20th anniversary in Germany must be celebrated in a very special way and with a new world record!
