An interesting claim. Do you have any evidence to back it up? I remember my children reading the books along with a good chunk of their friends and none of them read any Harry Potter fanfic. I do have memories of shepherding groups of them to the first 3 Harry Potter films
Hmm... just bounced a query off my daughter. 22 years after reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, she hadn't read any fanfic and was only vaguely aware that Harry Potter fanfic existed. I suggested
My Immortal as a starting point to ensure she never reads any more.
