Harry Potter is better known in the US than Tony Blair
More Americans know who Harry Potter is than can name Tony Blair, according to a survey by Zogby International. Some 57% identified the teenage wizard but just 50% could say who Britain's leader was.
The poll, commissioned by producers of an interactive reality game show based on pop culture, found that while 77% could name two of Snow White's seven dwarfs only 24% could identify two supreme court judges.
Robert Thompson, of the Bleier Centre for Television and Popular Culture, said the findings showed how effectively popular culture information is communicated.
