The Harry Potter Phenomenon

In 1997, the literary world was turned on its head. A book created by a then unknown and unpublished writer became a phenomenon: Harry Potter. From that point on, the demand was so great there were six sequels published (seven books total) followed by eight blockbuster movies, which have earned some Eight Billion Dollars to date.



And now – we have Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. This week and next, we examine this Literary and Movie juggernaut to determine what spell has JK Rowling cast upon us. Will the need for all things Harry Potter ever end?
