Harry Potter is a magical and sprawling universe that will never cease to fascinate fans around the world. The adventure began 25 years ago, with the publication of the first volume in the United Kingdom. Six other novels follow until 2007 and make this literary saga a huge popular success, acclaimed by critics. Translated into around 80 languages, the work of JK Rowling, defended by Ralph Fiennes, has sold more than 500 million copies. Like Agatha Christie, William Shakespeare, or Arthur Conan Doyle, the novelist with a degree in philology is now one of the most widely read British authors on the planet. Besides the novels, the sorcerer with the round glasses knows a huge success with his adaptation to the cinema between 2001 and 2011. A few years later, this magical universe extends even with Fantastic Beasts (2016). This year, Harry, Ron, Hermione and more broadly Hogwarts will even land in Paris with the long-awaited exhibition!
