Makani, whose real name is Heather, is a Texas-based artist and she has, what some might say, an obsession with drawing [Harry Potter characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogwarts-house-keycaps). Not that it’s a bad thing though, since she’s incredibly gifted at drawing these quasi-[Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew) style illustrations. My favorite of these Makani Harry Potter drawings is without a doubt Harry himself, as viewers get to see the wizardly protagonist rocking an indie star-inspired shaggy haircut similar to that of Jim from The Office. **Implications** - Consumers enjoy demonstrating their fan appreciation for pop culture franchises because the act of creating fan products is validating for them.
