“The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”
WOW, it’s hard to imagine that we’ve come that far. According to Book Seven, the final one in the mega-blockbuster Harry Potter series, today is the date Harry sends his son Albus Severus to Hogwarts from Platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross Station. The book’s epilogue is set 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts on May 2, 1998.
It’s a good day!
Today's the day Albus Severus Potter boards the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross for the first time #19yearslater ⚡️
