The recently released Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and The Half Blood Price, is the latest thing to effect people, not just children though, people of all ages. The film has already broken box office records is affecting people who aspire to look and be like the famous wizard. This has lead to companies seeing a rise in Potter style clothing, in particular, glasses. There are a large number of companies that are benefiting from these new fashion trends, Glasses Direct is one of them. They have reported seeing a 100% rise in sales of the Harry Potter designer glasses that they sell.
Many people are finding that when they go to choose a new pair of glasses, they see the Harry Potter style frames and find that they match their personal interests aswell as their desired price. The Potter style glasses tend to be very cheap glasses because the style and design of the glasses is quite basic, this is the big reason why many people are buying them.
This was said by the founder of Glasses Direct, Jamie Murray Wells: “We always see a surge in styles to match current trends.
This new trend is leading the fashion away from thick rimmed glasses that seem to be so popular these days. With the popularity of Harry Potter orientated clothing on the rise and the prices being so low, we could soon see cosmetic surgeries offering lightning bolt scar. Unfortunately glasses retailers haven’t yet released the Harry Potter style glasses as prescription sunglasses, I guess we’ll all just have to squint while flying our broomsticks.
