Harry Potter Mania Grips Sonam Kapoor, Pooja Hegde, Aditi Rao Hydari

New Delhi: It was a double treat for Harry Potter fans as the boy wizard celebrated his birthday and a new book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child released on July 31.

The Harry Potter mania gripped Bollywood celebrities including, Sonam Kapoor, Pooja Hegde, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sonali Bendre Behl and Farah Khan as they shared Potter posts on Instagram and Twitter.

Sonam, who can't wait to read the new book based on a play- imagining Harry Potter as an adult- Instagrammed a long note. She also wished author J K Rowling, who turned 51 on Sunday, Happy Birthday.
 

 

My childhood was spent reading her books, they say kids who read #harrypotter ended up having a stronger moral compass. I've lost count of the number of times I've waved an imaginary wand in the air and shouted Expecto Patronum! and felt every bit the witch or the wizard that Harry, Ron & Hermione were! Happy Birthday to the woman who gave us a world like Hogwarts, friends like Neville, Ginny & Sirius and who made us believe in magic! Can't wait to read #thecursedchild !! #sonamsheroes #always
