A copy of that much-rejected document became part of the “Harry Potter: A History of Magic” exhibit set up by The British Library in 2017 to mark the series’ 20th anniversary. Rowling was rejected by 12 publishers before the synopsis for “The Philosopher’s Stone” reached the hands of the Bloomsbury, which chose to publish the first book. The magic lives on with four new books released online in the summer of 2019, featuring an in-depth look at the lessons taught at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: from the care of magical creatures to potions, charms, and divinations. In 2016, or five years after the last Potter film was screened, Rowling delighted Potterheads anew when she came up with the “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” This was the first of the new “Fantastic Beast” series, which was inspired by a “guidebook” she wrote in 2001 featuring the magical creatures in the Potter universe. Over 450 million copies of the book have been sold to date. The adventures of author Joanne “J.K.” Rowling’s wizards and Muggles (humans or non-wizards) captured the imagination and hearts of both children and adults that the seven books were translated into 80 languages, including Latin, Greek, Arabic, Korean, Afrikaans, and Vietnamese. In October 2019, Warner Bros and Pottermore launched its membership program, Wizarding World Gold, where subscribers can avail of all the seven books in the main series plus new videos, discounted merchandise, and more. Leak圜on, a Harry Potter fan convention held in Massachusetts, is still organized every year.
