Hi Guys,

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this and if not, please refer me to the correct subject.

I was asked to give a lecture on the topic "What Harry Potter embraced from magic and what our community embraced (and created) inspired from Harry Potter".

I mean, I guess that J.K Rowling watched some magicians back then. Do you think you can trace magic in the book(s) that were inspired from ordinary tricks she saw? or everything in the book was inspired from the occult?

And what about the reverse question? What our community invented after (or in tribute) to the Harry Potter series?

Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I'm amazed no one is interested in this .. I am...
