Details

Survey was done via Google Forms service. To participate in it, respondent is asked to log in into her/his Google account (to ensure that one person takes part only once). It was popularized mostly among R users via R-bloggers and Twitter.

At the beginning of the survey, there was the following text:

This is a survey with goal to collect data enough to rate Harry Potter books. Data will be made public with complete anonymity of respondents. Please, take part only if you have read all seven original J. K. Rowling Harry Potter books and are willing to give an honest feedback about your impressions.

Analyzed books were coded with the following names:

“HP and the Philosopher’s (Sorcerer’s) Stone (#1)”.
“HP and the Chamber of Secrets (#2)”.
“HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban (#3)”.
“HP and the Goblet of Fire (#4)”.
“HP and the Order of the Phoenix (#5)”.
“HP and the Half-Blood Prince (#6)”.
“HP and the Deathly Hallows (#7)”.

Survey had the following procedure:

At first, respondent is asked to choose the first element in the randomly shuffled list of number from 1 to 127. This simulates the random generation of books subset in the next question.
Next he/she is presented with a question "What is your impression of these Harry Potter BOOKS?" (singular if there is one book) and the following question grid:
- Rows represent randomly shuffled subset of books corresponding to the number chosen in the first step.
- Columns contain the following scale of answers: “1 - Poor”, “2 - Fair”, “3 - Good”, “4 - Very Good”, “5 - Excellent”. Respondent is asked and allowed to choose only one answer per book (every book should be rated).
