This article examines the influence of the trend of reading Harry Potter books on Canadian fiction. The ways in which Harry Potter books have contributed to Canadian children's literature and to Canadian adult literature are explored. Children's fascination with fantasy and the role of fantasy in their lives and their implications for education are discussed. Details of the group of writers responding in ways to the Harry Potter phenomenon are presented. Books which have also crossed the lines between adult and child readers are discussed.
