Harry Potter and the Millennials: Research Methods and the Politics of the Muggle Generation examines how popular culture relates to political opinion and Millennial politics. Anthony Gierzynski demonstrates how social scientists formulate research questions and design empirical studies.
The volume centers on a national survey of more than 1,100 college students, assessing how engagement with the Harry Potter series connects to political outlooks. It examines whether fiction exerts an independent influence on readers, addressing topics such as diversity, authoritarianism, and political tolerance.
Intended for a college audience, this textbook connects mass media to public opinion formation and outlines the study design used to assess media effects.
