Surprised to see Harry Potter discussion on HN. I thought it is a book series for Kids and Teens. Do Adults (30+ age) find it interesting too?

2007 was thirteen years ago, Gordon. Have the Men in Black stolen time from you again?

Someone who was a teenager when it came out could easily be in their thirties now. So could someone who started in on the series when they were a kid, and kept up with it as they grew.

I have learnt many lessons from Harry Potter and consider them real. The beautiful scene of Death and the Three Brothers [1][2] has so much to teach us.

Well. I was 10-12 when Harry Potter was released and it’s been 20 or so years...
