I need you all!

Hi!  I am a junior in high school and I am doing a research 
project/paper on the subculture of Harry Potter fans.  If you have 
time, I would greatly appreciate if you answered a few questions to 
help me in my research!  If you are comfortable with it, please send 
to potterfan9349 at yahoo.com your first name and age and the responses 
to all or some of the following:

1) On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being a Potter-obsessed superfan who 
has read all the books a thousand times, has been to all the movie 
premiers and book releases, wears Harry Potter underwear, etc.), how 
big of a Harry Potter fan are you?

2) How long did it take you to read the books?  How many times have 
you read each one?  Which is your favorite?

3) How has Harry Potter changed your life? What purposes do Harry 
Potter books serve beyond entertainment?

4) What is the craziest thing you've done for Harry Potter?

5) Do you own any unusual Harry Potter merchandise or 
paraphernalia?  What is your largest or weirdest collection?

6) If you could be any Harry Potter character, which one would you 
be and why?

7) What is it that makes Harry Potter books so great that any age 
can enjoy them?

8) Have you been to any midnight premiers or book releases?  Did you 
dress up?  Describe your experience.

9) What separate the fans from the FANS?

10) Is there a special "lingo" of Harry Potter fans?  Are there 
specific phrases or vocabulary that define the group?

11) What are your views on people who oppose Harry Potter books, 
saying they are sacreligious and teach children witchcraft?

12) Any other things you might want to say about Harry Potter books.

Thank you all SO much!  You have no idea how helpful responses will 
be! If you want, I'll send you the finished paper!  This is my final 
project for AP Language and Composition class and is worth 250 
points and will basically make or break my grade. The more honest 
and open you are, and the more details you provide, the better! 
Thanks again! M.Kelly AKA potterfan9349 at yahoo.com
