Rowling’s recent Twitter storm is going to make you wish you had a Time Turner. > [](https://twitter.com/jk%5Frowling/status/638641255094853632) That’s right. Potter’s oldest son is off to his first day at Hogwarts. James Sirius Potter is already well-adjusted to Hogwarts when we meet him in the epilogue of _Deathly Hallows_. It’s his younger brother, Albus Severus Potter, who gets the spotlight. But not today, as Rowling’s followers supposedly wished James luck for Rowling. The author, as always, continued to play along with the fun. > [](https://twitter.com/jk%5Frowling/status/638658646805749760) Mischief managed. ### Harry Potter Illustrated Edition Illustrations  Harry Potter Jim Kay—Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.
