I was originally struck by how HP has become so well known that jokes aimed at the masses can be platformed on it. In other words, it has achieved the status of a common reference point in our culture.

Then I thought – but who reads Dilbert? The same people who are into sci-fi and fantasy and gaming, i.e. us.

And last of all I thought that calling the pointy-haired boss Baldemort was an act of sheer genius.
