Yesterday was September 1 - and as you may know, that's the day that the Hogwarts Express leaves Kings Cross, full of happy students heading back to school.

Ok, not really but we still haven't give up on our letter arriving by owl.

Look at what King's Cross did today!!! #BackToHogwarts pic.twitter.com/JRBETjiTe4

On Twitter, JK Rowling reminded us all that this year has a special significance - according to the books timeline, Harry's son, James Sirius Potter was off on the train to Hogwarts, nineteen years after Harry, Hermione and Ron.

I'm in Edinburgh, so could somebody at King's Cross wish James S Potter good luck for me? He's starting at Hogwarts today. #BackToHogwarts

They grow up so fast.

Have just heard that James S Potter has been Sorted (to nobody's surprise) into Gryffindor. Teddy Lupin (Head Boy, Hufflepuff) disappointed.

And, of course, Harry Potter fans got a bit emotional at the reminder.
