I would bet this isn't something new, more just a news peg. I knew kids who wanted Harry Potter and magic to be so real they could taste it. And of course the franchise only encouraged it by selling products it proclaimed were real magical items. The only magic happened for JK Rowling as she went from being a broke teacher to having more money than Zurich.
If anything, I'm depressed at the sorry state of journalism when reporters get paid to report this crapola.
