Find out if you can be called a true Potter connoisseur.
One can talk endlessly about the influence of books and films about Harry Potter on world culture. To say that without the story of the boy who survived, today’s popular culture would be very different, is hardly an exaggeration. However, Potter has had its impact not only on literature, cinema, computer games, etc., but also on society. In 2014, scientists managed to find out that Potter fans are much more tolerant of, for example, immigrants than people who do not like the JK Rowling universe too much. In addition, those who waited and continue to wait for a letter from Hogwarts are characterized by a higher level of empathy. Researchers attribute this phenomenon to the fact that in the fight against Lord Voldemort, the “golden trio” unites with representatives of various groups of wizards and magical creatures, including stigmatized ones – for example, with house elves and mudblood wizards. Readers identify with their favorite characters, which contributes to the growth of empathy and attention to others, especially to those who need support and help.
