[HPFGU-OTChatter] Too Old For Harry Potter?

[jamie burger]

I could not bring myself to finish reading that. I'm sixteen, yes, a minor, but I still think that people who can write something like that need a life. Honestly. Harry Potter, althought read by any children, is most certainly not a children's book by any means. Hello. GoF anyone? Very graphic. No one is ever too old to have an imagination, sorry bucko. Stupid jerk guy, writing rude stuff. (In regards to the man/woman who wrote that article.) This is meant to offend you, blah blah blah. If you're out o make people mad, then you have n heart and should be burned and beat repeatedly with fish. And if adults do read HP, whose business is it but their own? NO ONES! Stupid cow person. Get-over-it. What if they were reading LotR? What would you say then? Nothing? Oh, ok, because then there is no reason to say anything? Fantasy is fantasy, I think, and it is a good way to get out the real world for a moment and relax. You know, relaxation. Or maybe the guy who wrote that article never heard of it? Let me explain then: taking a break from the busy life and just enjoy having a life in the first place, let your mind wander aimlessly for a bit, look at the sky and marvel at it. Yeah. Hm. As I've mentioned, I'm 16, and I get made fun of for reading HP. And I not too old as well, Mr. I think I'm the ruler of the adult universe? No, I do not think I am too old to read Harry Potter because I saw more than a children's book in the writing. I saw pain, happiness, lonliness, bravery, and love. And these books are very qualified to be read by adults. If I recall, there were about four deaths in Gof, right? Four or five, I don't feel like thinking. And weren't each of those fairly graphic? And the ending of each of these books has some horrible thing happening. CoS- Harry nearly DIED for Pete's sake. The fang is STUCK in his ARM and he is being POISONED?  And Ginny's life is like, sucked out of her?Hm. Yeah, I'll just let my (non-existant) five year old go read this now. No. Harry Potter is not a child's book, but one for adults and teens as well, thank you very much.

  As a childless, 43 year old HP fan, I found this message shared on 
another board of some interest.  While reading, I did find myself 
smiling a number of times while not being able to shake the feeling 
that the author missed the point in several parts of their message.  

  What are your feelings?
