‘Right place, right time': Wise Potterheads Discuss How the Harry Potter Series Magically Became So Popular and Loved

When J.K. Rowling started writing the Harry Potter books, she held a treasure in her hands, and that is something we could all probably agree on. It is no secret that this magical book series is one of the most successful in history, and rightfully so. But what were the reasons for the series's massive success? Was there an entire team behind the books that carefully planned everything about it to maximize its success, or was it all sheer, dumb luck?

If there is anyone who can answer these questions, it is the original series' fans. They know the most about anything that is Harry Potter-related and can attest to what it was like to be a fan of the books back in 1997. These devoted Potterheads live and breathe the magical world we all love and admire, and each can supply reasons why they think it became so successful.

Of course, the love for those books is also incredibly individual, which is why it was so interesting to read the different answers to the question – How did Harry Potter become so popular?
