Harry Potter

“The Boy Who Lived,” as read by the guy who played him.

‘The Crimes of Grindelwald’ had a record-low opening in the U.S. for a Harry Potter movie.

The latest ‘Fantastic Beast 2’ trailer has three big ‘Harry Potter’ character reveals.

If there's one thing social media can't handle, it's anniversaries in the Harry Potter Universe — today is a particularly special one.

In honor of Harry Potter's 20th anniversary, Facebook and Twitter created some hidden magic that you can activate yourself. Go on and channel your inner wizard.

Two decades ago, could any of us have predicted the future that awaited Harry Potter? One massively successful book expanded to seven, which begat a theme park, a universe’s worth of merchandising, eight films, a play, and a new tangentially related franchise. And for those fans who still want more Potter, there is Pottermore.

J.K. Rowling is a pretty gracious woman. Beyond giving us the Wizarding World, regularly answering Harry Potter fan questions on Twitter, and annually apologizing for character deaths, she also gives back a little. In 2008, the author wrote an idea for a Potter prequel and auctioned it off to raise funds for a literacy charity. Now someone has stolen that rare prequel, because the world is full of ungrateful muggles.

Leading up to the 15th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone on November 16, we’re looking back on the series and rewatching one movie each week to see how they hold up.

J.K. Rowling‘s wizarding world has finally returned. Now that you’ve seen the new Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and read our spoiler-free review, it’s time discuss all the spoilers, criticisms, and theories for what’s next in the five-film franchise. Take out your wands, fill up a nice cold mug of Butterbeer, and get ready to go back in time to the 1920s.
