Poll: Have you read the Harry Potter series?
Still in love with the characters after 20 years or is it just a bit of a Dumblesnore?
THE VERY FIRST Harry Potter book was released 20 years ago today.
After years of rejection letters, British author JK Rowling finally published the first volume of the Harry Potter on 26 June 1997.
“Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was the first of seven novels that spawned an empire comprising eight movies, a play, theme parks in the United States and Japan, a sightseeing tour in Scotland and a permanent exhibition at London’s Warner Bros Studios.
The entire saga comprises seven volumes, published between 1997 and 2007, with each taking place during a school year.
