Well, I'm not a Chicago resident, but if you want some non-residents' 
quotes, as you say below, here goes


>- Why does Harry Potter appeal so much to
>grown-ups?

The series has depth and complexity. Not that most children's books don't, 
but this is a rich universe that is going to become a classic. Adults in the 
stories are as interesting as the child characters.

>
>- Why do you, personally, like the series
>so much?

I have always been a reader of children's books anyway, but I love the 
complexity (see above) and I can read the books again and again. It's like 
putting on a comfortable pair of slippers.

>- Your age, place of residence, profession
>(also of interest: married or unmarried,
>has kids or not)

50, Australia, teacher-librarian, no kids except other people's!

Cheers!
Sue
