Pottermania
Magical book craze
Pottermania is the intense cultural phenomenon surrounding J.K.
Rowling's Harry Potter book series and its film adaptations, especially during new releases in the late 1990s and 2000s.
The term captures the frenzy of midnight book launches, costume parties, and devoted fandom: Pottermania swept the country when the final book came out.
The pattern follows Beatlemania and similar formations for mass enthusiasm.
