20th anniversary of Harry Potter series
Today is the 20th anniversary of the release of Harry Potter.
It was June 26, 1997, when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone hit bookshelves, and the rest is history.
More than 450 million copies of author J.K. Rowling’s series of novels have been sold.
They’ve been translated into more than 60 languages.
And of course, there are the Harry Potter movies that’ve brought in more than $2 billion dollars.
Not bad for an author who almost gave up after getting rejected by countless publishers.
