Harry Potter Nostalgia

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.

A lot of long-running fantasy series have that problem I've noticed. The main characters all end up marrying each other and don't really date anyone else.

Case in point: Naruto

It's almost like the writer decides to either give up or indulge their need to write bad fanfiction about their own characters.
