@DoubleD this is all true, but who was influenced the most by harry potter? There's another meme wherein leftists are told to read another book because harry potter is all they know and think about.
@ButtWorldsMan The people who were influenced the most by Harry Potter were most likely those who were coming of age as the series came out who didn't consume any other reading material because they were complete NPCs who just read what was popular.
A lot of people have watched both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings
@ButtWorldsMan I get that it's a meme, but it's not a good comparison. Rowling wrote a coming-of-age novel series with a soft magic system inspired by pulp fantasy comics. Tolkien created a genre of literature and changed the way all authors look at world building.
And don't get me started on modern wiccans...
