Like it or not, to the saga of Harry Potter books written by JK Rowling have a lot to thank him for. I'm not saying it for the sake of saying it, but I'm truly sorry even though I personally never liked them or felt much interest in this story.

Anyway, it must be recognized that they are many children who have started their first journey through literature hand in hand with adventures of the magician's apprentice. A fact that, therefore, all of us who consider ourselves popularizers of the habit of reading must be grateful and acknowledge.

The whole universe inventing by JK Rowling has become a cult genre for lovers of the saga. Museums, recreations or groups of readers have proliferated around the world, making the weight of these novels even greater within popular culture. Such is this influence that the "Quidditch" (game with flying brooms that appears in the novels) to be able to be played in reality thus being carried out, character tournaments
world.

A whole movement linked to Harry Potter that sometimes it is stained by people who do not know how to dose this passion very well. I say this in relation to the news that has been published in various media in which it is reported that a prehistoric dolmen with more than 4.000 years old has appeared with a graffiti drawing corresponding to a symbol that appears in the book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".

The facts have happened in Vigo, specifically in a megalithic dolmen located in Casa dos Mouros. The symbol in question corresponds to the one representing the "Deathly Hallows" themselves. We would be talking, therefore, of a circle within a triangle both crossed by a line from top to bottom.

The authorities have opened an investigation to clarify the facts and seek to the one responsible for staining the name of literature with such a despicable act. A lack of respect for the atrocious culture that reveals the little sensitivity of a part of our society.

An aggression that Not only has it stained a monument of unique historical value, but it has stained the image of true readers and fans of the saga. A pity that news of this nature is directly related to reading.
