Subject
Discover how fans of the Harry Potter series grow their imaginations and love beyond the original books creating a living movement.
Description
Fandoms are a world wide phenomenon that stretches to every corner of the Earth. Any series of books, TV shows, movies, graphic novels, anima, manga, or creative word that catches in the imaginations of fans can evolve into a fandom.
These fandoms develop as special communities where most of the interactions and art, inspired by the original work, is contained online or born digital. Each fandom generally has a specific name derived from the original work, the focus of this collection is on one of the largest fandoms in the world, Potterheads, the Harry Potter Fandom.
The Harry Potter fandom is unique because it was originally a series of books which were then created into movies. Recently, the author, JK Rowling has expanded the universe via movies and a play. As a result of the different mediums used to tell the story the range of Potterheads are quite wide, but tend to be focused in these main areas:
Book Series Fans
Movie Series Fans
Fantastic Beast & Where to Find Them Fans
Fans of the different areas have slightly differing opinions on the outcomes and enjoy discussing their theories and creating their own version of the story online. This collection is primarily focused on four born digital types of content.
