Among the many financial beneficiaries of the Harry Potter phenomenon, Dean Taylor is perhaps the most unlikely.

On the back of JK Rowling's literary sensation, the 42-year-old has conjured up a nice niche, working as a lookalike of the teenage wizard's enemy, the villainous Lucius Malfoy.

If and when the Potter craze dies down, Mr Taylor will not be too worried about being able to put food on the table - not least because he is also hired out as an impersonator of Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

But there are plenty of others - not least the books' readers and its publishers - who may not find adapting to life after Hogwarts quite so easy.
