Harry Potter is their Peter Pan?

Weird comparison below in generational icons/moments and equating it to Harry Potter's influence on Gen Y. The idiot journalist must not have felt like committing much brain power to the article and had a deadline to reach.

One positive thingy I'll say about this series of books; at least it encouraged a generation to read and appreciate words more than just communicating with "OMG" or "LOL". Still though I think Harry Potter sounds like a better pornstar name rather than an awkward teen in a fantasy world.
Let the boomers have their 40th anniversary of Woodstock. Let Generation X commemorate the 15 years since Kurt Cobain shot himself. For Generation Y — those born roughly between 1980 and 2003 — it’s the pop culture of the late ’90s and early 2000s that makes them wistful.

I like Harry Potter. It's kind of the same story line as Star Wars -- basically.
