Boonbloggle portrays our fanciful words in an easier-to-understand graphical format, showing how the Boy Who Lived seemingly lives to kick WOM ass, leaving the hype-generating behemoth that is the iPhone appear out-of-touch (pun intended). Boonbloggle shows how, at the height of the mania, 4% of all blog posts discussed Harry Potter. For the record, the other 96% of conversation broke down into 21% of people who had nothing to say, 17% who were speculating about the latest Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan gossip, 5% who simply rofl’d, 7% telling people to add them on Facebook/MySpace/Twitter and 46% offering pictures of cats.

In other news, Potter author JK Rowling has announced that she has begun work on two new novels – one for children and one for adults.
