The books and movie are so popular and so widely known that most anyone you speak to will know the wizarding terms created in the book by the great J.K. Rowling. Several years ago, we didn't know what a "muggle" was, what "the dark arts" are, or how to play a game of Quidditch.
From Wikipedia about the Harry Potter Book series:
"Since the 1997 release of the first novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States, the books have gained immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide. As of June 2008, the book series has sold more than 450 million copies and has been translated into 67 languages, and the last four books have consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history."
From Wikipedia about the Harry Potter Movie series:
"The Harry Potter films are a fantasy series based on the seven Harry Potter novels by British writer J. K. Rowling, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson.
The Harry Potter film franchise is the highest grossing film series of all time when not adjusted for inflation, with over $5 billion in worldwide receipts. The series consists to date (2009) of six motion pictures, all of which are among the worldwide top twenty five highest unadjusted grossing individual films of all time. The latest instalment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was released in cinemas worldwide on 15 July 2009. Warner Brothers is currently producing the remaining novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which will be split into two films: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is due out on 19 November 2010 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is due out on 15 July 2011."
