Another reader has sent us this interesting tidbit. I guess if more people are getting their eyes checked so they can get glasses like Harry Potter, someone might as well make…Harry Potter glasses:

I saw what you said about that the eyeglass crazy will be “the Potter round glasses” so I found this and found it interesting. This is an advertsiment I saw in People weekly, dated November 19, 2001.

The ad at the top says:

Harry Potter Eyewear ™

(Then shows a blond boy about 11 or 12 years old with the glasses on that are exactly like the ones Daniel Radcliffe wears in the movie, and he is sitting on the floor with a book on his lap. )

Then the ad goes as follows: Experience the enchanting world of Harry Potter! Through glasses like his! Choose from frames with glow-in-the-dark Golden Snitches, lightening bolts, or movable temples. They’ve arrived in time for the first adventure, and they’re unlike any pair of glasses you’ve ever seen. Plus, get a special eyeglass case when you purchase Harry Potter eyewear. Visit LensCrafters and get your glasses before Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone ™ opens in theaters on November 16.
