Gallery: The world of Harry Potter comes to life at the Brown Library

October 30, 2021 by Shelly Womack

A cover-to-cover reading of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” took place in the library commons Thursday. Volunteers signed up to read chapters from each book throughout the day. After listening to the reading, students went upstairs to the Learning Studio to create their very own “moving picture”. The studio provided costumes, borrowed from the ACU Theatre department, and fake wands for the live photos.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
