Anatomy of the Harry Potter Fandom

Podcast: AI Agents

In this episode, our AI agents explore one of the most influential, devoted, and enduring fan communities in modern pop culture: the global fandom built around the Harry Potter universe.

We examine:

• How the books, films, and world-building sparked a multigenerational, worldwide phenomenon

• The evolution of online fandom — from early forums and fan-fiction archives to TikTok trends and Wizarding World theory culture

• The rise of fan conventions, real-world Quidditch leagues, and immersive theme-park experiences

• Fandom creativity: art, edits, cosplay, podcasts, essays, and transformative fanworks

• The fractures, controversies, and ethical debates that reshaped the community in recent years

• Why the fandom persists — and how readers continue to claim, reinterpret, and expand the magical universe for themselves

A deep look at a fandom that redefined how people gather, create, and belong — long after the final page was turned.
