Why is Harry Potter so popular?

John Ross, fourth grade, Sunset Hill School

“Because of all the magic and beasts. The movies are also a big part of it. I like the books better than the movies because they have more stuff in them.”

Gretchen Frick, fourth grade, St. John’s School

“Because kids like the magic in it.”

Katherine LaFever, third grade, Prairie Park School

“Probably because a lot of people like the movies. He’s really good at finding out stuff, and he’s mysterious.”

Katie Conrad, fifth grade, Quail Run School

“I think kids like it because it’s something every kid would like to be – to be able to do magic and levitate things.”

Spencer Conrad, second grade, Quail Run School

“Because of the magic. If the kids in it get mad, they can just turn people into stuff.”

Evan Barnes, fourth grade, Quail Run School

“The books are really descriptive and have a lot of action in them since the third and fourth books. Since it’s a series, kids already know the characters so they can skip straight to the action.”

Sadie Pravecek, fifth grade, Quail Run School

“I think kids like him because he can do magic tricks, and ever since they made the movies, he’s become even more popular.”

Jaden Leffler, first grade, Woodlawn School

“Because he has a broomstick and he flies with a wand to do magic.”
