Yes, I would agree with you on the fact that if Stephan king is more his style then he probably wouldn't enjoy HP more.esp1975 wrote: ↑23 Aug 2019, 13:50 I read the first few books in the series for the first time as an adult. I haven't read all the books. But for me, that is probably because the books all came out when I was already an adult.
I don't think HP is nostalgia dependent, because I do think new readers who are of the right age for the books will always relate.
And for adults, at least in the US, pretty much none of us have the experience of going off to school, so there's nothing about the books that will inspire nostalgia.
I think you simply aren't the right target audience for the books. That's okay. I own all the movies. I've read some of the books, but have no deep desire to finish them.
And yeah, if Stephen King is what appeals to you most, then Harry Potter isn't likely to be your favorite. That's okay. But it's also okay for Harry Potter to be the favorite of someone else, and have nothing to do with nostalgia.

Now that it has gotten as big as it has with different articles and news popping up every day between political views from the author and political views on religion and everything else, I can see why it would be a harder series to get into.
Personally, I still recommend an attempt at a read through, but sometimes, popular books just aren't right for people.

All of us thoroughly enjoyed it, it's good and fascinating, I don't think liking it is dependent on anything other than that.

Now, when I read them again, I feel them almost like a tradition. I love the series and, maybe, one of the reasons is the bond I got with my family as all us read them and discuss them as a group.
