'My children won’t fully understand why I left the room crying, or why I picked up a book titled, ‘Harry Potter’. 

'Millions will pull out old toy wands. Cloaks and round rimmed glasses will be dusted off.

'Wands lit, they will take them to the streets, holding them high, from speakers and phones, ‘Hedwig’s Theme’.

'Hogwarts will come back to life as a new generation is introduced to ‘The Boy Who Lived.’
