POCATELLO - Dozens of kids were at the Marshall Public Library in Pocatello to celebrate the release of the new Harry Potter movie.

The kids were taken to different stations resembling scenes from the books.

There were potions classes, and even a quidditch game.

Librarians are excited to see how much of an impact the books have had on kids. Kath Ann Hendricks, Young Adult Librarian at the Marshall Public Library said, "It's amazing the way that that has stretched them-to read books that are harder, that they might not have picked up. When you pick up a Harry Potter book they're fairly thick and I'm amazed at the ages that are reading some of those books."

The newest movie, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, has already made more than $200 million.
