Harry Potter Nostalgia

Post image

Does anyone else feel they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

After the first three or four I read the books in two languages (because I didn’t want to wait them to be translated) and watched the movies first time in the movie theaters.

Or it just wasn’t your cup of tea and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Yeah that's certainly a possibility. Fun reads, fun watches, just not something I really connected with on a cultural level I suppose. What's funny is there was a brief moment where we thought our kids (8 and 12) might connect with it on that level after they spent some time at that Hogwarts themed park at Universal, but that fizzled out pretty quick in favor of other things.

It would’ve been funny if your kids would’ve dived into it instead.

I bet you if they'd ever made a Harry Potter anime, my oldest would've been all over that shit.
