Are you suffering from Harry Potter withdrawal?

February 28, 2008 by Wendy Boswell  

A new study has come out that indicates reading Harry Potter is just as addictive as smoking or drugs (of course, it’s much more healthy for you!):

“An addiction to a drug is no different than an addiction to Harry Potter or the Internet or pornography. Although it’s not always a bad thing.

“There’s a community that you get with Harry Potter that you don’t get with heroin. “Some readers can become so engaged in the series and the ancillary world that grew out of it that they report behaviours that truly fit definitions of addiction or dependence.”
