I realized that one of the things I like best about Harry Potter is that he appeals to adults. Fans of Harry Potter are not limited to the 8-10 set
I was first introduced to Harry Potter, back when the first book came out, by a co-worker.
My parents (who obviously have children, but whose children are, literally, my age 🙂 have read Harry Potter and seen the movies. . I've been talking about the latest movie with friends at work. They're all adults; many of them have no children.
Rich and I have all of the books. In fact, we own two sets of Harry Potter books – the standard US hardcover editions, and the UK hardcover "adult editions". That there is an "adult" edition speaks, er… volumes.
