Fabulous! Wonderful! I can't wait! When I wrote the book rankings and the movie rankings, I didn't realize I was a victim of the pre-hype for 20 years of Harry Potter, but after I started noticing every brand in the world coming out with anniversary Harry Potter collaborations, it should've been clear:

HARRY POTTER SZN FOR LIFE! I love it. One of the biggest franchises in the world, we get to be alive at the same time. Can't wait for the special.
