| ARTICLES RELATED TO Harry Potter fandom | | | |  Harry Potter fandom: Encyclopedia II - Harry Potter fandom - The ship debatesAt one point, the Harry Potter fandom was infamous for its ferocious "ship debates," controversies that related to the characters' love interests ("shipping" being a general term for championing a romantic relationship between fictional characters).

| | | | Harry Potter fandom: Encyclopedia II - Harry Potter - Overview
Harry Potter - Publishing history.
The books have fans of all ages. J. K. Rowling says she did not have any particular age group in mind when she started to write the Harry Potter books; her publishers, however, initially targeted them at young readers aged 8 to 15.

| | | | Harry Potter fandom: Encyclopedia II - Harry Potter - Other analogous works Comic book fans have noted that a comic book series first published in 1990 by DC Comics called The Books of Magic, by Neil Gaiman, shares many similarities to Rowling's book. These include a dark haired young boy with glasses, named Tim Hunter, who discovers his own potential as the most powerful wizard of his age after being approached by magic-wielding individuals, the first of whom makes him a gift of a pet owl. Rowling officially denies being aware of this series, and Gaiman has gone on record stating that he believes similarities to be either c ...

| | | | Harry Potter fandom: Encyclopedia II - Harry Potter - Controversy The books have provoked various kinds of controversy.
Harry Potter - Accusations of promoting the occult.
Some religious groups have attacked the books for allegedly promoting witchcraft or undermining Islam and Christianity. Most of this controversy has occurred in the parts of the United States where religion plays a prominent role in public life. Some claim that children who read the books may begin to view the miracles of God as simply another form of magic. In the United Kingdom, Harry Potter's countr ...

| | | | Harry Potter fandom: Encyclopedia II - Exclamation mark - Natural languages Frequent use of the exclamation mark is common in writing in advertising. Some brands cleverly, but confusingly, contain an exclamation mark (examples include the search engine Yahoo! and the game show Jeopardy!) Some comic books, especially superhero comics of the mid-20th century, routinely use the exclamation mark instead of the period, as periods tended to disappear due to cheap printing processes. Overuse of the exclamation mark is generally considered poor writing, since it distracts the reader and reduces the mark's meaning. Some authors however, most notably the American Tom Wolfe, are know ...

A common belief is that the term originated in the fandom for the anime series Pokémon, with two American fans who, in discussing their belief in a romance between series villains, Musashi/Jessie and Kojirou/James (Known together as Team Rocket), hit upon the pun RocketShipp ...

| | | | Harry Potter fandom: Encyclopedia II - Exclamation mark - Comics In comics, a large exclamation mark is often used in the proximity of a character's head to indicate surprise.
Some comic artists regularly use an exclamation mark to stop virtually every sentence, even when a period would be more appropriate. The origin of the practice can be traced to the fact that many artists believed that the period would be lost in the printing process.

Several computer languages use "!" for various meanings, most importantly for logical negation; e.g. A != B means "A is not equal to B", and !A means "the logical negation of A" (also called "not A"). In this context, the exclamatio ...
