So, we're discussing Harry Potter and how it has been affected by the new media. As someone who is absolutely in love with the Harry Potter series, I'm glad to see that the "HP fandom" hasn't died out, though it isn't the most active anymore. It wasn't until I reached college that I realized just how prominent JK Rowling's writing has become in today's literature.
Though it's been a while since she came out with new work, she still holds her almighty authority over her fans. She still has a massive fanbase that she constantly produces for. She is always posting on her Twitter, whether it be about her personal life or about the Harry Potter world.
The HP fandom is still alive and well, though it isn't as big as it once was. The old fanbase has "gotten too old" for it or has found interest elsewhere. Not as much material has been produced by the older members of the fanbase, and there's fewer incomers to the fanbase. Maybe in the future, when they remake the movies or decide to show them again in theaters, the fanbase will bloom once more--opening up the doors to new members.
