J.K. Rowling, 'Cursed Child' cast celebrate Harry Potter's 20th anniversary release
 

To much of no surprise, the 20th anniversary celebrations of the publication release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is one of the most talked-about subjects this Monday, June 26th, including a top-trending topic across all social media.

J.K. Rowling naturally had a few things to say about the day Harry Potter and the Wizarding World was released for the world to read.
