Community Spotlight:
♥ In the wizarding world, May 2 is Victory Day—the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts and the day that the magical community came together to defeat Voldemort for good. It is a day of celebration and reminder that all of us can be heroes when we choose love and action over hate.

This year, for our 10th anniversary of Accio Books and in the name of joy and hope in the face of evil, The HP Alliance, NaNoWriMo, and Black Girls Create invite you to write and share a short flash fiction story or poem commemorating Victory Day!

This could take many forms; perhaps retelling the story of that day from a new character's perspective, perhaps a commemorative poem marking the anniversary, or how the legend of Victory Day has been passed on over the years.

To share your Victory Day story, post your original piece on Twitter and tag it #AccioBooks! On May 2nd, we’ll share and celebrate your stories for Victory Day!
