Methodology

After locating the text in French, Russian, and Swedish and making sure they were valid XML documents, we were left to decide what chapters to analyze. Initially, we planned to look at the first and last chapter of the first Harry Potter book, but then we decided that the introductory and closing chapters did not have enough of Rowling's creations and thus we added the eighth chapter to our project to give us more data relevant to our research question in which we could analyze in our project.
