Fellow Nairalanders I am doing a research on the HARRY POTTER Series in Nigeria....How popular and common is this series?.
Does an average youth have a common knowledge about this series? The novels and films?
Wikipedia explains that the Harry Potter is a series of fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The novels chronicle the life of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Since the release of the first novel in1997, the books have gained immense popularity and commercial success but please is it that popular in Nigeria? The HARRY PORTER series are recognized as the best-selling book series in history "and are often considered cornerstones of modern young adult literature". Let's have conversation. How much do you or people you know, know about it?
Have you watched the film adaptations? The original seven books were adapted into an eight-part film series by Warner Bros. Pictures, which has become the second highest-grossing film series of all time as of August 2015.
Key questions again:
How popular and common is this series?
Does an average youth have a common knowledge about this series?
Many thanks in anticipation of your feedback.

Harry potter of which year....that's an old book now..


Nigerian kids are more into the books than the actual movie.
