JK Rowling has marked #19YearsLater by making Harry Potter fans emotional
The day has finally come Harry Potter fans; it is officially 19-years later!
September 1 has always been important to witches and wizards across the world, as it was the day when we all went back to Hogwarts.
But, today is an extra special September 1.
Today is the day when the beloved story of our childhoods came to an end on Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station in London.
Today, if you go to that famous train station, you might see Albus Severus Potter, Rose-Granger Weasley, and Scorpius Malfoy as they prepare for their first days in school.
Today's the day Albus Severus Potter boards the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross for the first time #19yearslater ⚡️

To many of us, however, this is not the end of the journey; it is the beginning of a new one as this is also the day when The Cursed Child picks up the story.
Today, as students go #BackToHogwarts, we celebrate #19YearsLater, the start of our #CursedChild story… pic.twitter.com/4yLg31Qv9B

JK Rowling, Twitter Goddess, and shaper of minds old and young, has marked the day with tweets to remind us that we all shared in the adventure together - we all went to Hogwarts.
We're not worthy of her!
.@m_abs All these people saying they never got their Hogwarts letter: you got the letter. You went to Hogwarts. We were all there together.

Hmm. It *is* strange to think that Albus has been boarding the train for a whole year in the West End, but that's magic for you #CursedChild https://t.co/b1UYNmBzSx
