Something that’s left out is Harry Potter still being very popular in the global south. A lot of young kids read it when they start to learn English and if anything it’s made a bit of a comeback, at least from what I’ve seen in my area.

Same in South America tbh, but, I have noticed that there was a major decline in HP stuff since the 2010s. Manga and Comics are still very popular, mostly because they are translated and localized to Spanish and Portuguese very well since at least the 1970s.
