Research Paper - Help!

I want to do a research paper that focuses on how Harry Potter has changed
children's literature.  My professor challenged me to find any evidence of
this, or any other topic about Potter worthy of writing about.  Of course, I
take that as a personal affront, and am determined to make this work. <g>
I'd really appreciate some help.  What differentiates the books from other
"children's literature"?  What other topics can you think of that are
possible of expanding to 15 pages?  Please e-mail me personally: joyw AT gwu
DOT edu.  Thanks so much!
