这个句子里popular with most young people是定语吧，可是形容词能这样用吗？要说是定语从句的省略，我从语法书上都没见这种用法，谁能解释一下？谢谢

形容词短语做定语，因为过长，避免头重脚轻，所以后置，如果单独是popular则需放在前面就ok了...

well,if you consider Harry Potter as our hero Harry's name,of course you won't understand.But the "Harry Potter" here refer to the JK Rowling's Harry Potter series,a book's title....

你可能是高中语法没有学扎实吧？形容词的看家本领就是作定语来修饰中心词啊！这句话可翻译成：很受年轻人欢迎的《哈利波特》可作为阅读材料。
这句话如果变成定语从句也是可以的：Harry Potter, who is popular with most young people, can serve as reading material....
