Techniques:
Magic is something that all of us have dreamed of at some point. Humans naturally want something to make them even stronger- flight, invisibility, potion-making... things we can't have. The abundance of magic draws people into the Wizarding World and gets them invested in Harry Potter.
Celebrities are so glamorous... the money, the clothes, the respect... and people can follow them through their movies and websites and television shows and magazines. Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, and Michael Gambon already had acting careers before Harry Potter. However, they may have been shadowed slightly by Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint, all of whom got their starts via Harry Potter.
Magic and celebrities are only two of the enticing factors making Harry Potter so interesting. Special effects give the magic a whole new dimension. Hogwarts itself is so incredibly strange and beautiful- the setting lures people in. I could go on, but these factors are some of the main ones making Harry Potter so interesting and successful.
