The Harry Potter series aka the best collection of books in the history of the world is 20 years old today. NGL, twenty years has flown by quicker than Harry on his Nimbus 2001 in game of Quidditch.

Twenty years ago, Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone was published and the doors to the magical wizarding world were opened and, let's be honest, our lives have never been the same since.

With 7 Harry Potter books, 8 films, a play and a whole host of spin-offs (read all the latest about the Fantastic Beast's sequel here) it's hard to imagine a time when Hazza, Ron Weasely and Hermione Granger weren't running around trying to save the muggle race from dark magic, tbh.

She wrote: "20 years ago today a world that I had lived in alone was suddenly open to others. It's been wonderful. Thank you. #HarryPotter20"
