Harry Potter in Russia

Harry Potter's populartiy has sprung a lot of brazen imitators in Russia, as can be seen from this post from English Russia:

In Russia Harry Potter is popular too, in fact it was way too popular so some book publishing companies came up with their Harry Potter clones, trying to make it sound close to original even in naming the characters, so the most two popular ones were (and still are) the Porry Gatter with its first book “Porry Gatter and the Stoned Philosopher” - you can see it’s cover above, and the girlish series “Tanya Grotter” - like if Harry Potter was a girl (on the photo below).

Each series got a few sequels and got appreciated greatly by the readers.
