I agree that lotr is superior, but many of these adults were young when they got into it. I doubt there are many 50 year olds into it

Man have you ever tried to read LotR? Tolkein may just have been the best worldbuilder in history but it doesn't even matter when your reader wants to die before even getting to page 30.

It's not that I think Harry Potter is for kids, I just don't think it has aged particularly well. I LOVED the books and movies at the time - I'm 36 now - but I've gone back to them a couple times in recent years and it's kind of tough to get through. I have several 20-something co-workers who are absolutely nuts about that universe, though, and all I ever hear about is how they want dark mark tattoos and such. I'm like, you're gonna regret that, lol...

Most people grew up with the books as they were coming out. So into adulthood they remain interested in the series

A lot of younger people still pick up the series through the books and movies as well, though definitely fewer than my generation.

I know I'm still into the series. It's a great coming of age story, the world and characters are fun and interesting and it's the series that got me into reading.

Ive never understood this whole notion that you have to stop being a fan of something youve always been a fan of once you hit some arbitrary age. If it happens naturally then whatever but if you still like it you still like it.

You look EXTREMELY immature when you announce that you're about to ignore someone. No one cares, including the person about to be ignored. Just FYI.

I think it has a lot to do with how you present your liking of a series to others; if you calmly explain that you find it endearing and what parts you find interesting, most people will be accepting; if you fanboy like crazy and insult other YA series while touting HP as the end all be all of the genre then people are going to call you a manchild.

I remember reading the first LotR book. There was a moment where I stopped reading and I thought to myself lifes too short for this. Gave up reading it.

Sure it does. A magic ring of power and you marrying Mila Whoever are both things that could only happen in a fundamentally different universe.

speaking of which, do kids of today have a HP equivalent of their own? I guess Hunger Games is it, but even that is getting a bit old now and idk of a more recent kids/young adult book series that's popular

I'm seriously not sure what else you'd come to gamefaqs.gamespot.com forums for, interacting with trolls is like the one feature these boards have that other modern boards lack. much harder to rustle jimmies on reddit etc

I don't know that there's one particular one that stands out.

There's a lot more YA series these days as opposed to there being basically only HP and Percy Jackson when I was younger.
