Decreasing School Suck by Doing a Project on Harry Potter!

I have a sociology class at school which, while it is semi-interesting, tends to venture into the realm of complete and utter boredom and suck. So when we were given a project to do, I decided that I wanted to make it full of awesome. Thus, I chose Harry Potter as my topic.

Right now I am in the start-up stages of the project, which means I am still creating the survey and other things.

What I need your help with is, when I'm done writing it, the survey. I need lots of Harry Potter fans to complete the survey so that I can use the data in my project. There will be basic information like name, age, and location, however for the name category, I am allowing usernames. If you are interested, please post in this thread so that I can message you with my email address. In order to keep answers anonymous (and keep the project organized!), I will be sending the survey through e-mail. The answers you give during this survey will only be seen by myself and my teacher.

It would make me extremely happy and lessen the suck of my class if you could lend me a hand! I should have the survey all written out sometime next week or so, if all goes well :)

I am at the point where I can send out the survey, however there is one more thing that I need. Could everyone who wants to help inbox me their e-mail addresses? That is the easiest way to get the survey to everyone and not have everything leaked out onto the Internet. We're (my class) supposed to keep our surveys as quiet as possible while we're doing this. If you cannot do e-mail, inbox me anyways and let me know so we can figure something out

Right, I've gotten some responses through friend requests with their emails. I will be sending the questionnaire to them shortly. However, you can also access the questionnaire here: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/538814/Harry-Potter-Questionnaire

please do NOT do it twice, that will mess up the results in the end. So if you intend to do it on the website, post a response here letting me know. If you are one of the people who sent me their email address,, and wish to do it online instead, just email me back letting me know and ignore the document attached. :)

ok I am incredibly bad at this. Accepted all the friend requests, but forgot to copy down the emails for each. So, just do it online I guess! or just leave a comment on my profile if you want to do it through email/word document. :) this mistake WON'T happen again.
