Harry Potter is a magical franchise that is very popular world wide. You may know it by the books, the movies, the parks, or even people just talking about it. But back in 1997 when it first was released, it wasn’t super popular. Because of the fact that it had magic and witchcraft in it, which made religious leaders angry, because a children’s book had ideas of magic and magical people. But things eased up overtime. After the first few book releases it started to get popular. Every time a book was released at midnight, people would line up for hours to get their hands on the next book. This was called potter mania. One of the reasons that harry potter was so special was because it made kids want to read.
