J. K. Rowling’s Wizarding World may be the modern incarnation of the mega franchise, but for many fans, the stories and characters will always be known as the Harry Potter wizarding world. The stories and characters from those first seven books are still capturing the imaginations of readers of all ages. The characters became so popular that many of them have become modern archetypes. Fans compare new heroes and villains in new fantasy books and movies to their counterparts in the Harry Potter books. At least sort every one into their correct Hogwarts House.
