LONDON -- As the July 31 release of the script to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter play inches closer, social media excitement is quickly reaching unprecedented levels.

As presale copies of the script break records and bookstores fill their Twitter feeds with plans for midnight celebrations, it's rapidly dawning on fans that they will actually be holding the next chapter of the world's greatest wizardry saga in what is now just a matter of days.

It's fair to say plenty of people are excited.

Others are really, really excited.

Finally, some people seem to be experiencing too many emotions to contain in a single tweet.

The Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play will have its world premiere on Saturday, July 30 in London and the script will be released in bookstores across the globe at midnight the next day.
