To old for Harry Potter?

[meyerlansky123]

After Jazzy’s comment on my Bond thread about JK Rowling and then following it up with “sadly i’m a bit too old for Harry Potter”.

So this got my grey cells going. I know loads of grown ups that are in to the Harry Potter saga. If I was to try and count them I would have to take my DM’s and socks of.

So is there such a thing as to old for the young Mr Potter?

My first taste for films was the local Cinema.
Every week there would be a cowboy and indian film,usually John Wayne and the cavalry fighting off 2000 indians.

I think you went a bit off topic there mate.

I probably wouldn’t have discovered Harry Potter if I hadn’t become a parent. My son loves the HP stories. But I’m not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed them as well.

I read plenty of fantasy and sci-fi as a kid. As I moved into my adolescence and my reading tastes broadened, I began to see that quite a bit of the books on my shelf were dreck. But well-written epics which hint at deep themes, such as Lord of The Rings, continue to earn my respect. In my view, Rowling has earned her place alongside Tolkien.
