"Something that’s left out is Harry Potter still being very popular in the global south. A lot of young kids read it when they start to learn English and if anything it’s made a bit of a comeback, at least from what I’ve seen in my area."

That is very interesting and makes a lot of sense. I'm talking mad shit about HP but its engaging to first-time readers and the reading level ramps up as the series progresses, which is useful for teaching first and second languages.
