That's a noble enough goal. But if what you're doing is just trying to figure out how wikis work, I suppose I'd say, "Create a new one". Think about some subject you like that isn't actually represented here yet. Make that, and you'll probably attract more users than by trying to make something which treads the same ground as other, better-established wikis.

I guess I'm just not sure that books-only Potter is better than just adding book-related information to the existing HP site.

There's gotta be a product, service or something you like that we don't have here yet. Maybe a wiki about pencils. Or pens. Or keyboards. Or mice. Or cuts of beef. Or DVD recording media. Or something with a relatively finite scope that you can make a really good, useful wiki about in, say, 6 months.

Look around your room in your house and figure out something that you have a lot of. Movie posters? Pillows? Albums from a slightly obscure group?

Then make a wiki about it.
