Going by traditional literary beliefs, James Sirius Potter departed Platform Nine-and-Three-Quarters on the Hogwarts Express for his first day at the wizarding school.

Could the tweet be more than just an author keeping her characters alive? Potter fans, and publishers, could only hope.

UPDATE: J.K. Rowling couldn't write just one tweet.

Per the author's request, her best wishes were forwarded to James Potter.

And then she realized what the gravity of all the well-wishers might mean.

Potter fans know that Harry and best friend's Ron adventure back to school their second year was much more hectic, thanks to a flying car and Whomping Willow.

But James Potter's first day was still a success as he was sorted to Gryffindor, just like his father. (Where else?)
