Harry Potter Age Group ?

hell i bet there are grannys readin them

ill admit....i wasnt a HP fan untill like 7 months ago!(I was 17 then but i just turned 18 in Nov) i did think they where childish......that is untill one day i was babysitting my god daughter..and i came upon book 1 in some of her books and since i didnt have anything to do that entire day..i read the whole book and i thought it was awesome so...i checked out books 2-4 from my local library.....and that when i became a Fanatic....im in lovee with the whole series now.....ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY! I think i became i a freak around November when i finally get my hands on book 5...i had a real breakdown when sirus died....my mom thought something was really wrong with me...her facial expression was priceless when she found out i was crying about a character from a book.... 😆 but back to the topic....HP is far all age groups..yes....however.....books 3-5 (and 6 along with 7 when they come out) relate more towards teenagers and adults.

i became a harry potter fan when i turned 19...now i'm 21. I don't think they are only for adults and i don't think they are only for kids. I think they are for all age groups. I think that as a kid you understand some parts of the plot...but just like Disney movies, you understand more of the subtle jokes and finer points as you grow older. Each time you read the books or watch the movies you notice something new, regardless of age.

Maybe we should make a poll on this.. 🙂

If you read the books I'd like you to ask, How old are you?

I made this poll because I read this thread:

I thought it maybe was intresting to know what age group reads Harry Potter the most.. 🙂

Here's one for you -- I'm 28 yrs old.. but dont look now -- on the official Harry Potter website, a 48yr old woman was named fan of the week!

my boss, a very successful deputy executive director of a corporation, and over 40 yrs old (43 i think), is actually the one who recommended it to me!

if you read a special news feature on the BBC website dealing exactly with this subject, you will see comments/reactions from readers of all ages - most of them very heartwarming - parents reading with their kids!

The Potter books should inspire us to be "child-LIKE" NOT "child-ish" !

so dont worry.. kids 😉

"You're never too old to believe in magic."

im becoming 15 in 4 days...
<<so at 13.1.>>

It's maybe a weird question, but I was very tired this morning.. sorry for that..

I was just curious about the ages from people that read the Harry Potter books.. 🙂

Maybe you can vote on this poll.. 🙂 it's about the ages from people that read the Harry Potter books.. 🙂 Maybe we can look what age group reads the Harry Potter books the most

age group? somewhere between 5 and 100, i think.

oww.. I'm so stupid! it is a poll.. I didn't saw it this morning... how stupid.. 😮 😮 I was really tired this morning..

hey daeri, what are you sorry for? you actually started a very interesting thread!

there's an issue here about some adults who deny that they read the Harry Potter books bcoz they think others would laugh at them thinking that the books are children's stuff.

i'm not ashamed to be reading the books at my age - its actually a heavy, deep, profound material if you analyze it carefully - a way of looking at things thru a child's eyes - like going back to the age of innocence - but it has evolved - growing along with its audience.

it is multi-layered - and can be viewed in 2 types of perspectives - the child's & the adult's - but the books are written so well & so witty that its very important messages for children DO NOT lose their significance even when viewed thru an adult's perspective!

Well, I'm 16.. and I don't know any adults who reads the books exept my Math teacher, but she reads it because her daughter reads it..

I don't think it matters. I read LOTR when I was in year 5 or 6 - about 10 years old. Books can be for any ages. I know several young children who had no problem with the plot. Anyway, the only complicated bit is the end.

Oh yeah, and the priests who say it is satanic - they havent read it in case they are corrupted by it. The yhave no idea whats in between the covers!

I'm 21 years old. I love Harry Potter, i think it's an excellent read.

excellent read......... since when is there a set age for enjoying books? age matters not, only the size of your imagination.

I agree with everyone else, i didn't read them untill i was 14 and i know more older people than younger ones that read them! THey are awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think most people who read the Harry Potter books now are around my age range. Because Harry Potter became popular when I was 14, and I read it then. Now I'm 17, I'm still reading it. When I was 14, my older friends (20 +) like reading the books, and they still do now. So like, as Harry Potter grows older, I think more older people starts reading the book. Get what I'm saying? (I'm confusing myself)

But yes, my point is: As Harry Potter grows older, readers grow older, and more older people reads HP =) So it's not "just for children" anymore.
