| | |  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 answered "Strongly disagree" on all of those questions pertaining to that. Hopefully, we'll get an accurate account against those who think HP is leading us to the occult.

He said that he needed 1500 responses, and thought it would take a few days, and posting it here, it only took a few hours. I'd call that a large adult fan base. lol

Sorry for the double post but it wouldn't let me edit...
Once the paper is done, I'll share the general results with everyone. Should be around December. Hopefully, I'll be able to get it published, and then everyone can have access to it!

So turn off your pop up blocker temporarily. 
Anyway, here's the thing:
I had to purge 260 (!) responses because the respondants were under 18 years of age. I wish that kids would understand exactly how much work that takes. 
So, bottom line: if you're over 18, live in the US, and haven't already taken the survey, please, please, please point your browser here.
The survey has been temporarily reopened...

Took it. Only took a few. I am glad that they are actually looking for adults who read HP.
