Harry Potter
One quick question...
Have you read any of the Harry Potter books or seen any of the films? (This is so we can give you a briefing of what happens!)
Yes, I have No, I haven't.What's all this about?
Harry Potter is a series of seven books and eight films about the years he spent at Hogwarts, a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry where he meets Voldemort, known to many people as You-Know-Who since they are frightened to say his name in case it makes him appear. On the way, he makes many new friends, including Ron and Hermione.

A Very Magical History
Twenty years ago, JK Rowling published a book named Harry Potter and the Philsopher's Stone. Back then, she was an English teacher, struggling to make ends meet. Her literary agent says that she wouldn't make a penny. But the book was an instant success after meeting fourteen publishers rejecting the story.
She then writes more and more Harry Potter books. Eventually, in 2007, she releases The Deathly Hallows, the final book in the series. The film is released in two parts three years later.
What next?
Rowling released The Cursed Child as a play in 2016 and said that that would be the end of Harry Potter. Or is it...?
