Sub Culture Research Blog 2

I think figuring out which subculture I wanted to research was relatively simple.  I thought about what I personally was a fan of in popular culture and what I knew a lot of people would be interested in.  Harry Potter has been popular now for a decade and has been a huge part of our popular culture today.  I knew this is why I wanted to research Harry Potter as a subculture.  I personally love Harry Potter, nerdy as that may be.  I have read and watched the movies numerous times and I knew that researching this topic would be fun and interesting for me.

I expect by researching this subject I will find many people who are much more involved in the subculture than I am.  I also expect to learn a lot about why people love Harry Potter and why it is that this subculture has been lasting for as long as it has.  Before going into this project I feel like I already have a good background knowledge of this subculture since I have been a fan myself and have read and watched the movies.  Some difficulties I may encounter could be the issue of not enough broad topics to look into.  People who are fans of Harry Potter tend to have similar views and I do not really know how in depth topics could be.  I think that this subculture research will definately help me have awareness of what I like and do not like about Harry Potter and it will teach me many things that I may not know about the characters and the plot lines of the books and movies.
