In keeping with the theme of book fads, I thought Harry Potter could hardly go without a mention.
But, given that these days everybody has said almost everything there is to say about Harry Potter, I thought I'd show you one of the many bi-products of the Harry Potter phenomemon.
There are of course, other interesting side effects of the Harry Potter obsession, such as parodies inluding the infamous Barry Trotter series, fan fictions (Fanfic), and conventions.

The Harry Potter Fad started as a childs book. its because the way the series is going, eg; dark and scarey, that's generated all the hype. it makes you wonder how it'll affect kids growing up as they read this almost adult litriture...
Well I know the appeal for me was growing up "with" Harry, and that will certainly be harder to do with subsequent generations. I guess it's up to parents to work out how they're going to deal with the series.
