Last weekend, members of Hogwarts Philippines were interviewed for a piece about the series and the fandom by The Manila Times. The article was published today!

To the Filipino fans of Harry Potter, their favorite boy wizard has definitely “grown up.” From being the protagonist of author J.K. Rowling’s children’s novel about a young wizard’s road to heroism, he has definitely evolved into a cultural icon whose story was told through seven books and, so far, six film adaptations.

And as the latest of the six films, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, makes its worldwide debut, his followers say that his magic still remains enchanting as ever. Apparently, it is enough to inspire a number of them to don elaborate robes, carry broomsticks and even discuss his story in the classroom.

Hogwarts Phils. would like to thank Angelo Cantera, Sir Rome Jorge, and Karen Kunawicz.
