# Today is International Harry Potter Day, a celebration of author J.K. Rowling’s beloved wizarding world. Rowling’s literary series holds the Guinness World Record as the highest-selling series by a single author at over 500 million copies sold. All seven of the original Harry Potter series of books were made into eight films, which were shot in the United Kingdom and Ireland. From rereading the books and hosting themed parties to reenacting favourite spells, this is a day people are encouraged to let their inner wizard shine.
Potterheads around the world unite to celebrate International Harry Potter Day
