Even so, Harry Potter is a broader phenomenon than just that. That should have been clear already in the early 2000s, after the first few movies. There is an interesting question about where the line gets drawn. I'm inclined to exclude works such as 50 Shades of Grey, but that was also tremendously popular (although not nearly the scale of Harry Potter) and I could easily see someone call me a snob for drawing that distinction. On the other hand, if 50 Shades won some kind of award I wouldn't be inveighing against it, so there's that.
