I thought Dr. Who was the new Harry Potter. Or was that Supernatural? Ah well, I can never keep track.
Yeah, it is the way of all fandoms. It was sheer chance that pulled me into HP fandom, and I barely participate in it now, other than continuing to write my AQ stories. As long as I have an audience for those, I'll be happy.
I expect a new generation will probably "rediscover" Harry Potter every few years, though it will never be quite the phenomenon it was in the beginning. OTOH, I stand by my prediction that Rowling will write a new Potter book in 10 or 20 years, and that will be a major media event and rekindle the fandom. (Whatever "fandom" means in 10 or 20 years.)
