Harry Potter made YA book-to-movie franchises into one of the biggest forces in pop culture. Rowling was an unknown single mom when she first got the idea for her story while stuck on a train the small UK children’s press that ultimately took a chance on it undoubtedly couldn’t have predicted that it would have a measurable effect on everything it touched.
But Harry Potter changed the world.Īuthor J.K.

So lines might be slightly more tolerable and the those die-hard fans, much like myself, who will elbow you for taking the last Chocolate Frog have come and gone.Almost exactly 20 years ago, on September 1, 1998, Scholastic published Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first US edition of the UK’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
