Harry Potter fans woke up to 1 September 2017 with rather mixed feelings. After all, this is the day that marks 19 years since Harry Potter and his adventures as a teen ended. It also marks the final day in the Harry Potter universe, going by the last book in the original series.
Before this starts making you feel old and nostalgic, here’s another interesting trivia from Potterverse. Today is also the day when Harry’s son Albus Severus Potter first boards the Hogwarts Express and eventually makes way to his parents alma mater.
As soon as JK Rowling broke this to the Internet, Harry Potter fans across the globe couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.
