They sure do know what they're doing.<br /><br />Hmm, I think dynamic characters has something to do with it. What made Harry Potter appeal to all ages and genders? I think the unique, quirky characters, the kids and the adults, were a big part of it. Also the plot has to be something a kid can understand on his emotional and mental level, but one an adult can relate to as well. It's definitely not easy to write or film something to appeal to all ages!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.com
