>>176569 What is "normal", might I ask?
Hard thing to define. But if I had to say which was more normal - a person who enjoys reading reads a popular book series given praise by critics, authors, children and adults or a person who has most likely not experienced many intimate moments with a female let alone has ever had sex with one, regularly visits an imageboard that contains gore, lolis, penises, mutilation, racism, sexism, prejudice, and where people take pleasure in other's misfortune, I would say that the first person I described was more normal.
You have done an exceptional job convincing yourself that you are superior to people who like a book simply because you don't.
And as for who the books are marketed to, does it matter who reads them? How about if I read a book marketed to chefs? Cannot I not get anything out of culinary guide?
And if you bothered to research or even look up at the posts above yours you will see why adults enjoy the Harry Potter series. Besides the fact that they are well written, there is much more than a kid's story to be found.
I personally strongly dislike the movies. They are more children and family oriented, whereas it is easier to find deeper and enriched themes of love, death, and prejudice in the books.
You also never clarified whether you were speaking about people who are unhealthily obsessed with the books of just a reader who casually read them through in their time out of the millions of other books they're read.
One last thing I would like to note is I really don't find anime to be less childish than the HP books.
You are either too stubborn or deep in denial to admit you are full of shit, but it's okay, you're pretty transparent.
