My cousins were all mad about Harry Potter, they were very proud of having all books in the series at home, and being the first in their school to have them (or similar things, you know how it is)... I don't know if they have read any one of the books now, but back then only my uncle (their father) had read them.
I also remember one of them talking very excited about the Lord of the Rings movie, I asked him if he had read the book, he said he had no intention to do that, because it was too thick a book. "Do you prefer 3-hour movies or 1:30-hour movies?", I asked. "The longer the better, of course", said he. "Then why don't you like thicker books as well?" He then went away to play and run and swim and fight
This all means: a series or story being popular does not mean people are going to read the books, they just want to have them and talk about it.
