    No, because people weren’t claiming harry potter was real, nor setting up churches.

      Not an HP reader but I’m pretty sure people meet up regularly all over the world dressed up to celebrate stuff from the books. If that’s not the beginning of a cult I don’t know what it is, if not kept in line give it 2000 years to snowball and by year 4023 it will be full of delusional people swearing their imaginary friend is the one and only god, same as Jesus’s, Mohamed and Santa

        No, you’d need to give it 30 years, by your logic. By 2027, people are going to be thinking Harry Potter is real.
