    • An entire culture

      Harry Potter

      16 September 2009

      Harry Potter isn't just a series of books and movies, it's an entire culture in our entertainment world. Everything about Harry Potter, from the font on the cover of the book, to spell names like "Expelliarmus!" and "Wingardium Leviosa!", to Qudditch, and to the theme song from the movies, the Harry Potter culture is so powerful and recognizable. It's no surprise that the opening of the latest Harry Potter film held midnight sold-out showings all across the country, with fans dressing up in robes with wands. I, myself, dressed up as Hermione Granger for Halloween in the 6th grade. It's a series of books and movies that can be read over and over again and that will continue to influence many generations of people, regardless of age, for many years to come.
