Last night the new Harry Potter book was released world wide – with hundreds of Midnight Parties taking place in book shops around the world.
In Dublin fans headed to Hogges Figgis on Dawson Street – where dozens of people queued up to get their hands on Harry Potter And The Cursed Child before anyone else.
But Dublin wasn’t the only place fans were desperate to buy the new book from JK Rowling at the stroke of midnight.
People all over the world took to Twitter to share their joy at getting the book – the two part stage play which has landed on the West End.
Take a look:
