I really want to know what the Potterverse is. Is it just another synonym for the Harry Potter fandom?

The Potterverse is:
The fictional universe which is the setting of the Harry Potter series.
It's a fandom slang word for the world of Harry Potter.
Generally speaking, [person]-verse is often used as a fandom slang word for the fictional world or universe associated with the person. For example:
- the Whoniverse is the universe of Doctor Who
- the Buffyverse is the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel
- the Whedonverse covers the world(s) of Joss Whedon shows and movies, including the Buffyverse, Firefly/Serenity, and Dollhouse.

1For the record, the earliest reference I could find was Feb 2000; the-leaky-cauldron.org/features/essays/issue15/hbs although I'm sure the term dramatically pre-dates that on the various potter forums.– ValorumCommented Sep 7, 2016 at 23:00
