  Muggles Flock To Harry Potter Website

      (cont'd)

     Back to FrontPage of article

  The popularity of Harry Potter has also contributed to the surge in visitors to other film sites, up from 1.7 million unique visitors in September to 2.1 million in October, demonstrating the importance of having a vibrant website to promote movie releases.

  In comparison to other film websites, Star Wars’ official website experienced 165,000 visitors in the UK, while other blockbuster releases, including Pokemon, Jurassic Park III, Shrek and Lord of the Rings experienced significantly less visitors than on the Harry Potter website.

Other NetValue data for October 2001 show:

  Good news for British retailer, tesco.com, which has entered the top 25 most visited domains for the first time. 1.3 million unique users visited the retailer during October, which equates to 9.1 per cent of all home Internet users.
