BOOKS: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

(Left to right: Emma Watson as Hermione, Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, and Rupert Grint as Ron)

It's true, Harry Potter has been around for 14 years! The first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, came out in 1997, but it didn't really reach popularity until 2000. The movies and books have around a total of 18 million Facebook fans, mostly in the US and England. Now that the final movie has been released, fans are expressing their sadness. With 18 million fans though, I don't think that the "Potter Power" will run out anytime soon. Let's hope to see a new generation enjoy these books, or maybe that even better ones will come out!
