Harry Potter again? We saw some big developments in the Wizarding World this last month. The folks at Warner Bros. unveiled many new details concerning Fantastic Beasts 2 — and we’re here to dissect and discuss everything we’ve learned. On top of that, June marked the 20 year anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the beginning of the Harry Potter series. July marked the 10 year anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the end of the Harry Potter series. We reminisce on what Harry Potter has meant to us.
