J.K. Rowling and fans celebrate Harry Potter's 20th anniversary

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (known as Sorcerer's Stone to American audiences). It triggered an international phenomenon spanning over the past two decades, which has included six more novels, a blockbuster film series, audiobooks, video games, a West End stage play, a spin-off in the form of Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, a theme park attraction at Universal Parks & Resorts, countless memes, and even a genre of music. It made a billionaire out of the previously penniless J.K. Rowling, turned its child stars into household names, shaped online fandom as we know it today, and inspired an entire generation to read.

Iconic series, the definition of impact, acclaim, and worldwide smash. I remember reading the books soon after they came out and was hooked ever since. 20 years of perfection oprah1

More iconic and impactful than any pop girl stanned for on this website including Madonna tbh. Something as big as Harry Potter will likely never happen again, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime event. oprah1

I honestly cannot imagine the world without the Harry Potter franchise.
