Have you ever read JK Rowling, though? Her writing is terrible.

I don't know how intelligent people were able to enjoy the entire HP series. I enjoyed the first three, but by the time I was 11 I was turned off by how childish and vapid it was.


Prisoner of Azkaban came out in 1999, so are you saying you are in your twenties?

Might be early 30s. Prisoner of Azkaban came out 1999 and Goblet of Fire summer of 2000. If he read the 1st three and then at 11 years old when GoF came out tried reading it and realized how joky is was (that is a seriously long convoluted process for Voldy to get to Harry, and Dumbledore/staff members letting Harry compete is even more ridiculous)

2000-11 = 1989ish.

I read all the HP books. They're definitely children's books, but good ones. Finished off the 5th-7th ones being over aged for them but still enjoyed, they did get a little darker in the later books to grow with the intended audience.

@Trotsky said he was at least in his 50s though.
 
The best Star Wars theme is obviously A Jedi's fury.

Anyone kid/teen who drew the line at GoF had bigger problems.

OofP I can understand, the pubescent rage in that was pretty dull and awkward. But Goblet of Fire blew that world up into a whole universe.

I stopped at order of the phoenix, like 30 pages in because Harry's character turned into caillou.
