Is someone who has never read any of the Harry Potter books and is not a fan of the movies likely to appreciate this work? I'm somewhat curious to read it but suspect I'd have trouble following the references.
Yes, you would have trouble although if you are passingly familiar with the first two movies that would be enough.
Note that Eliezer also includes references to a lot of other fictional work, although generally in passing. So if one hasn't read a lot of fantasy one might simply either not get the joke or not even noticing them.
TV Tropes claims that I have "a few" Shout Outs. You'd think TV Tropes would do better than this.
We just don't want to list them all. ;)
