I have grown up with my parents calling us the Harry Potter Generation. It only makes sense considering we grew up alongside Harry Potter as a character. I'm excited too see what his life has become. It would make sense that Harry Potter's kids go to Hogwarts and I'm hoping they live out his legacy. Who wouldn't love the little Potters?

I'm looking forward to see how the dynamics between Harry and Albus play out, and the interactions between Harry's and Ron Weasley's families.&nbsp;

<img title="Shomik Roy" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2016/jul/Shomik-Roy.jpg" alt="Shomik Roy" /> Another Harry Potter book is exactly what I need in my life right now. I hate being an adult. I have yet to watch the second part of the seventh movie because I'm afraid my childhood will officially be over after I watch it. Now that the new book has come I can watch the movie.
Akanksha Manglani 24, Financial Risk Analyst
<img title="Akanksha Manglani" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2016/jul/Akanksha-Manglani.jpg" alt="Akanksha Manglani" /> Harry Potter was the first book I read. The speciality of the Potter world is that all you want to do is dive into it again and again. You can never have enough. I am expecting exactly that from the new book; a continuation of my journey into that world. A book that tells me more than I already know.
Yash Kewalramani 18, student
<img title="Yash Kewalramani" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2016/jul/Yash-Kewalramani.jpg" alt="Yash Kewalramani" /> I spent so much of my childhood reading and re-reading every sentence in the Harry Potter series, it's been nine years since the last book and most of what I expect and hope for is just the similar feeling of getting lost in the magical halls of Hogwarts once again.&nbsp;
