Ready to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first Harry Potter book?

Where has the time gone?

The Harry Potter series turns twenty-five next year, and publisher Bloomsbury has already unveiled grand plans to celebrate the occasion, reports The Bookseller.

Many of these are special editions of the books, starting with a silver-foil-adorned paperback of book one (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone, depending on where you live) in January.

But Bloomsbury also plans to create an outdoor installation, a video and social media fan-message campaign, and specially themed events.
