pent up fan base
long standing fan base
the first book came out in 97. also during a time before internet, so A LOT more kids were reading then. the first movie, 01. You had legions of kids ready to go for the first one.
they will all stay for the ride, so naturally like a tidal wave you pick up more and more kids for each movie, its a gaurateed success

Levi Morgan

Isaiah Sullivan
i mean, they started out as kids films/books
the only reason they transitioned into being more young adult type material is because that's what the fans were growing into
