The Harry Potter film franchise has been extremely successful since Scottish author JK Rowling first put pen to paper to create the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, back in 1998.
Since then, eight movies surrounding the seven lengthy books were released, and $7.7 billion was made as a result, with Harry Potter now a household name for those who aren't even Potterheads.
There are studio tours, American theme parks and even walking tours in Edinburgh dedicated to this fantasy book series - and three spin-off movies to boot.

In the new 2022 film, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, new main character Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), is enlisted by a much younger looking Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) to save the wizarding world from the evil Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen).
And while this was way before little Harry's time, there are still hidden secrets in this brand new film set in his wizarding world, reports the Radio Times.
Listed below are all the Harry Potter Easter eggs spotted in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
Professor McGonagall
She was everyone's low-key favourite professor in the Hogwarts world, with her snappy one-liners and kind heart to those in need - Minerva McGonagall also makes an appearance in the 2022 spin-off film.
Although it isn't our Dame Maggie Smith, Professor McGonagall's character does make a small cameo in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
Played by the younger Fiona Glascott, McGonagall makes a brief appearance at the Hog's Head pub and lends a hand to her long-term ally Dumbledore.
True Potterheads have argued across the globe however, that Minerva would not have even been born during the timeline of these films - but most of us were just happy to see her in the film!
Quidditch
The sport that witches and wizards across the globe are obsessed with, Quidditch is referenced often throughout the original films and books written by Ms Rowling, as Daniel Radcliffe's Harry becomes the youngest seeker to play the sport in a century - he goes on to become a crucial part of the Gryffindor team in his first few years at the school.
Although the sport is rarely referenced in the new films, a key scene is included at the end of the 2022 movie, that features the four Quidditch balls, and the most important being a golden snitch.
The balls are contained in one of the decoy cases that Dumbledore hands out to his allies to trick Grindelwald's followers in Bhutan.
Hogwarts and Hogsmeade
The Fantastic Beasts series has travelled to unknown places in the wizarding world and beyond, including the German Ministry of Magic - but there are some comfort locations as well.
As well as the second film also included Hogwarts, The Secrets of Dumbledore showcases scenes set within the walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and a first look back into the Great Hall since the fated Battle of Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows Part II.
We are also transported to Hogsmeade in the 2022 film, and most specifically to the Hog's Head Pub, where brother of Dumbledore, Aberforth is the landlord - and he continues to on in the original films.
The Room of Requirement
This room is referenced a lot throughout the original rooms, as it eventually becomes home to Dumbledore's Army - a secret ally of students battling the evil within the walls.
The Room of Requirement, originally tipped-off by lovable Dobby the House Elf, is used in the 2022 film as a key location where Newt, Dumbledore and other characters meet before travelling by Portkey to Bhutan as they battle evil Grindelwald from taking over the wizarding world for good.
Original theme music for Harry Potter
As per the previous two Fantastic Beasts films, James Newton Howard is composer for The Secrets of Dumbledore - but he will continue to wind in John Williams' iconic theme music at segments during the film.
As the action hits Hogwarts in the new film, the original theme music can clearly be heard, which ran chills up and down Potterheads across the country, as nostalgia ended up taking over.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore will be released in UK cinemas on Friday 8th April 2022.
