Social Media Roundup: 19 Years Later Special
September 1 equals Back to Hogwarts, and this year marked 19 years later, as seen in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows epilogue. The day saw thousands of fans gathering to celebrate, from a gathering at King’s Cross London at 11:00 a.m. GMT, to MuggleNet’s very own live event at Universal Orlando, MuggleNet Live! 2017: Nineteen Years Later. Check out some of the highlights in our social roundup special edition.
In the UK, fans gathered at King’s Cross, and the crowd included a certain Warwick Davis.

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

While Jason Isaacs was wondering what could have been.
