He has now grown up, like many of his fans, and has three children with his wife Ginny Weasley, sister of his best friend Ron.

The seven Harry Potter novels have sold more than 450 million copies worldwide since the first book hit bookstores in 1997. The wizard’s adventures have been translated into 79 languages and eight films.
