Even though Harry Potter was technicaly for children and young adults, everyone fell in love with the book and the characters. The whole world wanted to be a part of the magical Hogwarts.
Organisations took advantage of this new found fan culture and as the new releases of new books continues so did the release of the merchandise. People wanted a piece if this magical world and soon every child wanted a wand or a spell book.
The fans work and communicate threw all sorts of different media; web sites, fan fiction, podcasts, fan art and sogvids. However the fandom not only interact online in internet forums, but also gathers at scholarly fan convention, tours of iconic landmarks relevant to the book or film production.
Fans turned sour:
Hedwig increased the owl-hunting and owl poaching business single-handed in India, as birthday boys demanded owls as presents while hunters shot white owls down probably to decorate the dining room mantles of their sick, twisted, "we couldn't just buy them the plushie" household.
While visiting America, Tom Felton, who plays Harry Potter's sub-nemesis Draco Malfoy, got a great taste of what it's like to be famous in the good ol' US of A when a Harry Potter fan offered to adopt him.
Some Guy Photoshops Emma Watson's Head Onto CP (Child Pornography)...
Harry Potter slashfiction (a lot of which can be found Here) is basically fan erotica (which are pornographic stories) about the Harry Potter cast.
Let me repeat this: erotic fiction about the under-aged KIDS in all the Harry Potter books.
Some popular pages lead to entire sites filled with links to download word files or dumps of certain stories starring the following combos of dudes either passionately touching, holding back sexual desires and coming-of-age) "curiosity" stories.
The fan club is still increasing with every new film made theres more fans drawn into the magical world of Harry Potter.
