Adult readers who are dismissive about Harry Potter

Mel here.
    Your empathy is a salve for my irritated sensibilities! This subject is my first post, 
and I thank you all for such a great welcome to the group.  I have wondered why I've 
continued to "tune in" to HP for grownups for many months now,  just listening in in a 
daily sort of way. Now I realize how much I needed to connect with like minded souls.  
Have any of you read Life of Pi?  It's an interesting tale that separates those readers 
who prefer logic and "just the facts" over those who embrace faith in the unlikely but 
more interesting story.  I am surrounded by pragmatists.  It's not just that they can't  
appreciate innovation and creativity, it's that they seem repelled by it. I am an 
anomaly in my own book group! :)  Ah well....It's just simply corking to meet you all.  
Really!  Here's to us!
