I agree with you Iago. I know many people who don't like fantasy
(including my entire family). I wasn't trying to judge my coworker's
family, but when someone asked who would not like HP, I wanted to give
an example. In my situation, the children don't like books that can't
be true. They do very well in school and are not social pariahs, they
just don't like fantasy.

I'm very uncomfortable with the idea that because someone doesn't like
one book (or one genre) they have no imagination. I don't think that is
a fair judgment.
