Remember, that is only one type of Roleplaying Game though - online RPGs are a 
minor part of the roleplaying hobby (though a rapidly growing one). I'd specifically 
like to mention that there are people who tabletop roleplay (the original form of the 
RPG) within the Potterverse. I've been running a Harry Potter roleplaying campaign, 
with sessions at least once a month (sometimes once a week) since late 1999, and I 
know of quite a few others. I also ran a Harry Potter game at a roleplaying 
convention earlier this year, and last week committed myself to running another one 
next year - and again, I know HP games have run at other RPG conventions.

Just adding another aspect to the fandom list (-8

And now I return to my attempt to accurately map Hogwarts (nasty people on a HP 
newsgroup *dared* to point out errors in my maps which I now must change!)
