It’s been 20 years when “Harry Potter” first came into our lives and completely flipped it upside down. And, even after two decades, the fandom is still alive and going strong. We got to see the impeccable ways in which people serenade their love for the Potter universe by simply hogging the recently released ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’, as well as the prequel to Harry Potter – Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.
“Harry Potter” fandom is still one of the most followed fandoms in this World. From real-life Quidditch to costume parties to constant references being dropped, people are organising anything and everything to still keep the fandom alive. Heck, many even felt that will also get their Hogwarts letter as soon as they reach the age 11 (including me).
Today, “Harry Potter” and The Sorcerer’s Stone was originally published as Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone. The change was majorly implemented in order to attract the American audience, which is a big market for any filmmaker. Many considered that Philosopher’s Stone might not resonate more with the American audience, plus, Sorcerer sounds much more magical in comparison to the philosopher.
Philosopher or Sorcerer, whatever the name might be, one thing was made sure that the magical universe of Harry Potter was presented the same way in the movies as it had been in the books. I still consider Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone to be the perfect bedtime book for kids in order to get them into reading and moreover, to get them to believe in a magical world which is much more interesting than those old Fairy tales.
On 20 years of “Harry Potter”, we decided to combine some of the greatest quotes from the Sorcerer’s Stone that teach you about life and friendship.

How time flies, no? It just seems like yesterday when I first read and watched the Harry Potter maiden, and got completely into the Potter fandom.
