Would anyone be interested in helping me collect example sentences for all the KM N2 grammar points from the Harry Potter series?

I have Narnia, not Narnia but I would have liked to. 
Sorry.

I don't really know the story, it's been like 20 years since I read that :$
I'd possibly be up for One Piece.

Some thoughts on the process:
1. You could open the text file of Harry Potter in notepad++, and replace every occurrence of 。 with the extended expression \r , giving you the sentences in a nice list.
2. Delete the short/unusable sentences, then save as a csv file.
3. Open the file in calc or excel
4. Then go through the sentences adding the # of the KM2 grammar point in the column next to the sentence until you've used each number once.
5. Sort by the number column so that the 167 sentences with KM grammar points are in order and separated from the rest
6. Copy just these sentences and paste them into another sheet that contains just the grammar from KM2 (in book order)
7. Save the resulting sheet as a csv file and import it into anki.

Thanks for the tips, I was thinking of a more organic (?) way if I some peeps want to help.
Basically using the existing KM N2 spreadsheet but replacing the example sentences with Harry Potter ones by reading the books, and when you find an interesting sentence from HP that uses a KM grammar point you just type it up into the spreadsheet.
Obviously this will take longer but I read and listen to the HP books anyway, and doing so is good study. Also I'd like to create a concise selection of interesting sentences rather than all sentences of point X.
If it was just me it'd take forever but with a few people it might not be too bad
So is there a text file of the Harry Potter books in Japanese somewhere?

@caivano - Sure, see the thread beneath this one. ;p I mean umm, I'm sure I saw a link to the official Kindle version of Harry Potter or something. Yes, that's what I mean.
