Harry Potter and the Public Relations Phenomenon

Muddiman, Ashley

Abstract Details

2007, Bachelor of Arts, Miami University, College of Arts and Sciences - Communication.
This study examines print articles and public relations (PR) surrounding the publications of two Harry Potter novels through the framework of the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) of persuasion. By dissecting the ELM techniques present in the PR, a successful strategy change emerged illustrating that the first Harry Potter book studied encouraged peripheral processing, while the second book studied encouraged central processing after the books’ publics built a foundation of knowledge about the series.
