The '''2000s''' was the decade that followed the [[Second Wizarding War]] with [[Lord Voldemort]] from [[1995]]-[[1998]], unlike the [[First Wizarding War]] which ended abruptly on the 31st October [[1981]] where although Voldemort's body was vanquished his spirit lived on for many years, this time however Voldemort was killed for good and the [[Order of the Phoenix]] and their allies won.

The 2000s saw many positive changes in the wizarding community of Britain, such as the removal of [[Dementors]] from [[Azkaban]], massive reforms in the Ministry included the removal of pro-pureblood laws and discrimination laws against [[Half-breeds]] were abolished.

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in the latest update of Pottermore. As such, spoilers will be present within the article. Please take care when reading this article if you have not yet been through the latest update.
The following events occurred in the 2000s:
The 2000s was the decade that followed the Second Wizarding War with Lord Voldemort from 1995-1998, unlike the First Wizarding War which ended abruptly on the 31st October 1981 where although Voldemort's body was vanquished his spirit lived on for many years, this time however Voldemort was killed for good and the Order of the Phoenix and their allies won.
The 2000s saw many positive changes in the wizarding community of Britain, such as the removal of Dementors from Azkaban, massive reforms in the Ministry included the removal of pro-pureblood laws and discrimination laws against Half-breeds were abolished.
2003: Two Muggle dog-walkers are accidentally transported to a Celestina Warbeck concert after their dogs run off with an old trainer (which was actually a Portkey scheduled to take a crowd of witches and wizards from Clapham Common there). One of the dog-walkers was even invited by Celestina to perform a duet of "A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love" — and, even though a harried Ministry official performed a Memory Charm on him at the time, he has since returned to the Muggle world and written a popular song that bears an uncanny resemblance to Ms. Warbeck's worldwide hit (not to her amusement, though).[4]
July2000: The novel Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is first published. Interest in the Harry Potter novels reaches a crescendo, particularly in North America, where overnight line-ups and near-instant sell-outs of the book receive wide media coverage, bringing Harry Potter to wide mainstream attention.
26 June2006: The Queen's Handbag, a specially filmed mini-adventure featuring the cast of the Harry Potter films, is shown as part of Children's Party at the Palace, a celebration of the 80th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II.
The long-awaited final novel in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is first published. Joanne Rowling signed for eight hours books of 1500 people.
June2009: Michael Jackson (a.k.a. "The King of Pop") dies. He is among the celebrities that became a fan of the Harry Potter series. He invited Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint on his last concerts tour in London, however the concerts did not tace place because of his death.
2009: Less than eight years after it began, the Harry Potter film series has now become the highest-grossing film series ever, surpassing the 45-year-old, 22-film James Bond series.
