Harry Potter was a global phenomenon. Never before in history had a book series held such sway over a large portion of an entire generation of humans. Something like that is going to continue to have a place in popular discourse, largely because the average person is either ignorant of the issue or simply doesn’t care.

Also, in capitalism a moneymaker like HP simply isn’t allowed to die.

When has that fact ever stopped kids from playing with the sticks?
