paper on Harry Potter and its huge appeal. My thesis is that 
a huge reason for the series's sucess is the 7 book, extended 
mystery format. I think all of the many interesting theories 
and speculations circling around in this group and many other 
places online with the hard-core fan base rubs off on the 
casual readers, many whom, like me, get sucked in to the much 
deeper aspects of the series and become hardcore fans. What do 
you all think of this? Are you most interested in the series 
for its mystery, or for its other very strong elements? Thanks 
a lot!

Luckdragon:
  My interest in the series is due to the tremendous, seemingly unlimited use of imagination. Jo never ceases to amaze me with the things she comes up with. As an adult reader these books allow me to escape from everyday pressures and reality and again relive my childhood which was made so enjoyable by my own lively imagination, daydreams and fantasy world. Jo reopens this world to me, allowing me to share in her magical world where anything and everything seems possible. As for the mystery aspect, that is quite enticing as well. I love the fact that she plants clues in each book and keeps us wondering about the numerous ways in which the plot might turn, twist, or come to an unequivocal stop.
