Pottermania
Pottermania (/pɒtərˈmeɪniə/) is a term that originated in the early 21st century to describe the worldwide phenomenon of enthusiastic interest in the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. The term is a blend of "Potter," from the series' protagonist Harry Potter, and "-mania," from the Greek "μανία" meaning "madness" or "frenzy."
Etymology
