But now the quintessentially English adventure has been given a Japanese makeover, with the release of a series of manga renditions of Harry, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley et al.
The 13 characters, which include the headmaster of Hogwarts school, Albus Dumbledore, Professor Snape and Harry’s owl, Hedwig, were created by a Japanese design company in collaboration with the film studio Shochiku.
A collection of 13 plastic folders, each featuring a character on the front and designs from the four houses of Hogwarts on the back, went on sale online last month. Rubber rubber stamps, badges and key rings are due to be released soon.

The wizard’s arch nemesis has even been invoked in the country’s diplomacy. In 2014, Japan’s ambassador to Britain, Keiichi Hayasahi, likened China to Lord Voldermort during a row with Beijing over island territories and wartime history.
