Eichenlaub, Madigan circulation services manager With nary the need for an "Alohomora" spell, a two-hour reception magically opened the Harry Potter's World exhibit at Penn College's Madigan Library, as attendees some in costume and all awash in music from the Potter movies viewed displays, enjoyed theme-appropriate refreshments and vied for door prizes. The exhibit, to be accompanied by a variety of activities on campus and in the community, will remain through March 26.
