Fanfiction for Harry Potter series have been exponentially growing with even more fans joins the writing groups. I believe that the fanfiction, mostly consisting of teens, extends their writing skills through self interested topic, Harry Potter. The fanfiction writings include short story of couple hundred words to even thousands of words. Furthermore, the fanfiction have allowed for healthy social interaction for the kids. For example, Heather, mentioned in the book to start off fanfiction, was inspired by Harry Potter book to create a fanfiction organization at a young age. The fans who write their own versions of Harry Potter, in my opinion, are actual writers who use their creativity to express themselves regardless of age. In addition, the fanfiction have improved much of the children’s writing which were deprived of by the visually-focused world with televisions. No matter with the contents, Harry Potter fanfiction provides positive experience to the writers.
