It's amazing that Harry Potter has remained so popular for so long. It's especially odd the fanbase has persevered through the J. K. Rowling controversies, with more and more coming out all the time. It seems that the Harry Potter community was such a strong one that the many off-putting tweets couldn't stop them from appreciating their favorite series. In a way, that makes Harry Potter feel more important than any other book series, because no matter how J. K. Rowling says Wizards used the bathroom prior to the invention of modern plumbing, we can still love the Wizarding World all the same.

Perhaps the reason why Harry Potter continues to endure after all this time is because so many Millennials and Zoomers grew up reading the books and watching the movies. Harry Potter was also a classic form of escapism for fans of the fantasy genre, and it went on to inspire quite a few spin-offs, games and more. It's also inspired a lot of memes. Here are just a few of them.
