Harry Potter has
come in at first place in a poll of famous people who wear glasses. The fictional character beat Johnny Depp, The Doctor & the Queen. The College of Optometrists, who conducted the survey, said Potter has "made glasses cooler" amongst youngsters.
Quote:
Dr Susan Blakeney said: "Our research confirms a change that has been quietly taking place for years. While in the past wearing glasses may have made you a source of amusement for playground bullies, with Harry Potter books and film stars like Johnny Depp at the forefront of popular culture, children can now wear their glasses with pride."
