| | |  Participate in a HP survey!
Christopher Bell, a doctoral student at the University of Colorado, kindly requests participants for a Harry Potter survey to aid him in his research.
Chris writes: Quote:
This fall, I am conducting what I think is quite an interesting piece of research, and I am hoping your members would be inclined to help. I am currently conducting an online survey about the fans of Harry Potter. How many times they've read the books, how many times they've seen the films, how much time per week they spend on websites such as this, and so forth. It's basically a questionnaire about American consumption of Harry Potter merchandise. The survey is fairly short (less than ten minutes) and completely optional and anonymous.
It is really important to note that the survey is being conducted only for fans aged 18 and older.
If any of your members would be willing to assist in this research, I would greatly appreciate it. They'd be contributing to the further study of J.K. Rowling's magnificent work as a part of our collective cultural framework.
Take the survey here  | |

I was wondering the same thing.
I kinda wish it had asked where we saw each of the movies, the first two were strictly at home, whereas the third.....well, 3 different movie theaters then home.
It was definately fun, and interesting.

It's not discriminating. The study is based in Colarado, America. Makes sense.

They're trying to get a representation of a specific group of people (18+ Americans.) They are not trying to discriminate. This is obviously for research purposes and they only need the results from the group they are looking for. It isn't a survey of HP fans...just the ones that pertain to their research.

Relax and dont take offence (sp?)!! Sure we all know that everyone here younger or older then 18 and from all over the world absolutaly love Harry Potter!!!

This is funny… I fit all the criteria I am over 18, live in the US and some of my friends go to school there!!!!! That is amusing, it took me more then 10 min. though and I don’t like giving out personal information. But all is well, though now I do kind of fell like a dolt or something because I am older then the usual HP lover…

I took it. I hope it goes to show that there is a large adult fan base. I was also pleased that they asked about the witchcraft/occult aspect. Hopefully it will go to show that HP is not an influence for children to go against their religion. Interesting... | |
