The Kansas City Star today says:

“Who can say whether Harry Potter would be as successful without those fans old enough to order a martini?

Sarah Blair can.

“Absolutely not!” says the 26-year-old Potter fan from Gladstone. “All the fans I know are adults.”

And speaking of adult fans, she’s too shy to say so but our own Senior Editor Sue Upton is quoted:

“We have grown so big because we have discovered that there are so many adults out there reading the book,” says Sue Upton, 41, senior editor of www.the-leaky-cauldron.org , which on an ordinary day racks up more than 750,000 hits.

(The hit statement is technically correct but sensically inaccurate; that’s, these days, less than 1/6th of the hits you all generate.)





The Leaky Cauldron is not associated with J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros., or any of the individuals or companies associated with producing and publishing Harry Potter books and films.
