What people wear, how they act and how they live is always changing based upon the latest thing in the news. Whether it’s what a celebrity is wearing in the press, or simply a new film release, the public is always affected by this.

The latest Harry Potter film to be released, Harry Potter and The Half Blood Price, is the latest thing to effect the view of the public of all ages, not just children. The film has already broken box office records, and like all the previous films, it’s having an effect on hardcore fans that aspire to be like Potter. This has resulted in companies seeing a huge rise in sales for Potter style clothing, especially glasses. Glasses Direct is just one of the companies benefiting from the film trend. They have reported seeing a 100% rise in sales of the Harry Potter designer glasses.

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 design of them is so basic and this is one reason why they are becoming so popular so quickly.

The founder of Glasses Direct, Jamie Murray Wells, said this about the surge in sales:”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 glasses at low prices and the popularity of them on the rise, we might soon be seeing cosmetic treatment offering lightning bolt scars. Unfortunately the Harry Potter glasses don’t yet come as prescription sunglasses, we’ll all just have to squint while fighting you know who.
