:00:00. > :00:00.You're with Newsround this morning - hope you had a magical weekend.
:00:07. > :00:12.It's 20 years today since the world met Harry Potter and friends.
:00:13. > :00:29.But first, it's been 20 years since the first
:00:30. > :00:31.Harry Potter book was released, but did you know that a lot
:00:32. > :00:34.of the ideas for the books came from real-life places right
:00:35. > :00:44.The first stop on our Harry Potter tour is a little cafe in the heart
:00:45. > :00:47.of Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh.
:00:48. > :00:50.This is the place where JK Rowling used to come to write
:00:51. > :00:55.the Harry Potter books, and she'd sit in this exact seat.
:00:56. > :00:57.Now people come from around the world to visit it.
:00:58. > :01:01.And if you look out of the window from this spot, there's one pretty
:01:02. > :01:07.big clue about where the idea for her wizarding school came from.
:01:08. > :01:10.Our second landmark, Edinburgh Castle,
:01:11. > :01:14."Perched atop a high mountain, its windows sparkling in the starry
:01:15. > :01:20.sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers."
:01:21. > :01:30.The books are packed full of characters with unusual names -
:01:31. > :01:32.Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore, Narcissa Malfoy.
:01:33. > :01:35.Some of them she got from the names of flowers, stars,
:01:36. > :01:43.Others she got from places like this.
:01:44. > :01:46.Four, the reptile house at London Zoo.
:01:47. > :01:49.Potter fans will recognise this as the first place where we really
:01:50. > :01:56."It was cool and dark in here, with little windows
:01:57. > :02:02.Harry sat up and gasped - the glass front of the boa
:02:03. > :02:09.Five, King's Cross station, London, where our journey comes to an end
:02:10. > :02:14.Not only does he meet his best friend Ron here, but it's also
:02:15. > :02:16.the spot where he takes the Hogwarts Express
:02:17. > :02:22.A scarlet steam engine was waiting next to a platform
:02:23. > :02:26.A sign overhead said 'Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock,'
:02:27. > :02:43.And the Harry Potter books aren't just a brilliant read -
:02:44. > :02:45.lots of you have found them really helpful.
:02:46. > :02:49.I love Harry Potter because it's just an amazing story, it's
:02:50. > :02:56.I love Harry Potter because it's such a creative and imaginative
:02:57. > :03:00.series of books, and it allows your imagination
:03:01. > :03:05.It's just one of those things that when you're feeling sad,
:03:06. > :03:08.just pick up a Harry Potter and suddenly you get taken away
:03:09. > :03:13.If I was feeling sad or something, I just read Harry Potter and I start
:03:14. > :03:16.Everything they do is kind of teaching you just
:03:17. > :03:21.Recently I had to deal with the death of my grandad
:03:22. > :03:24.and I found that really upsetting, but then I looked back
:03:25. > :03:27.at Harry Potter and he's such a courageous character,
:03:28. > :03:30.and I just looked back at the quotes, for example,
:03:31. > :03:33."Happiness can be found in even the darkest places," and that just
:03:34. > :03:42.It's really inspiring to see how much someone can go through,
:03:43. > :03:47.and when he's talking to Ron he's still happy at the same time.
:03:48. > :03:51.I moved earlier this year and I think that when I read
:03:52. > :03:55.Harry Potter it helped me because it helped me with the transition
:03:56. > :04:00.I made, because of the transition he made when he went from growing up
:04:01. > :04:04.with muggles to going to a wizarding school.
:04:05. > :04:07.If I'm down, I just pick up the book and my mind goes
:04:08. > :04:12.Harry Potter has definitely inspired me to write more stories
:04:13. > :04:15.and do more writing at home when I'm bored.
:04:16. > :04:18.I just go and grab Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire,
:04:19. > :04:35.It's been a packed weekend of music at Glastonbury,
:04:36. > :04:42.and Ed Sheeran closed the festival with an amazing set.
:04:43. > :04:45.Ed played without a band as usual and got the crowd to sing along
:04:46. > :04:48.with him on his hits such as Thinking Out Loud
:04:49. > :04:55.There's a few arguments going on in the sporting world right now -
:04:56. > :04:57.listen out for the words "disgusting" and "desperate"...
:04:58. > :05:00.Rugby Union first, and British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland
:05:01. > :05:05.has been called "desperate" by All Blacks boss Steve Hansen.
:05:06. > :05:07.Gatland had said that New Zealand illegally targetted Lions scrum-half
:05:08. > :05:10.Conor Murray during the Lions' first Test defeat in Auckland
:05:11. > :05:15.and could have caused a career-ending injury.
:05:16. > :05:17.Meanwhile, on the race track, Lewis Hamilton called
:05:18. > :05:19.Sebastian Vettel's driving "disgusting" after the two clashed
:05:20. > :05:25.The race included included three safety cars and lots of crashes.
:05:26. > :05:30.Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo won the race.
:05:31. > :05:33.Next, this bull is definitely not a cricket fan.
:05:34. > :05:35.The cheeky animal interrupted this match in Bollington,
:05:36. > :05:46.Nobody was hurt and, once the bull had gone, play continued.
:05:47. > :05:55.Make sure you head online because we have a special Harry Potter vote, we
:05:56. > :05:59.want to know what animal you would take to hot quartz. That closes
:06:00. > :06:04.today at around 3:30pm. See you later, goodbye.
:06:05. > :06:05.Becky is making a scrapbook for her hero,
:06:06. > :06:10.and Little Roy wants to find out who it is in Little Roy, coming up next.
