Holllld up. No reason to act like kids don’t deserve media of a higher caliber, or that media created with them in mind can’t be just as enjoyable for adults. Harry Potter is far from my hyperfixation but I can’t stand these arguments no matter where they crop up.
Oh they certainly do. It’s always saddened me that these books are what grabbed the imagination of a generation when Terry Pratchett’s books were right there.
But that said, they did get a lot of kids into reading and I hope they explored further. It feels like a lot just hyper-focused on HP, though.
