On 26th June, 1997, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was first published in London, UK. According to Wikipedia:
It won most of the British book awards that were judged by children and other awards in the US. The book reached the top of the New York Times list of best-selling fiction in August 1999, and stayed near the top of that list for much of 1999 and 2000. It has been translated into at least 73 other languages and made into a feature-length film of the same name, as have all six of its sequels. The novel has sold in excess of 120 million copies, making it the fourth best-selling book of all time.

@creating #tdc4913 I admit having ready maybe 1/3 of the first Harry Potter, and seen a few of the movies, but my family has shelves of books and HP lego.
At 28, Harry is inching into middle age! Methinks his creator is not quite following the advice on dragon tickling.
