There is no denying that while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two may have been released in 2011 the magic of the stories of the boy who lived are as popular today as they ever were. The Fantastic Beasts franchise has given fans a look into Dumbledore and the wizarding worlds past. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was released in 2016. The play toured the country as well as becoming an immensely popular read.

Speaking to the Big Issue in 2016 about why the Harry Potter series is still such a massive hit she said, “Harry moves from a workaday world into a magical community — Hogwarts is a meritocracy. Magic comes from every walk of life.” The fact the magic lies around every corner captures childrens and adults imaginations, even now.
