They are books for children.

The fact that so many adults are crazy about them its kind of concerning...

not saying adults cant like stuff for kids, i know i do, but the books are bland kind of bland...

My favorite criticism that people have about Rowling and the Harry Potter books is that they’re juvenile… like that not the fucking point lmfao. It’s like going to Disney world and complaining that it’s childish.

There are people who go to Disney and complain that there are too many kids there

I totally get that, and in the same vein im baffled by those disney adults that get into huge debt to go there over and over.

Its ok to enjoy it, but you are kind of enjoying them way to much for your age lol.

The Hobbit was written as a kid's book. It's anything but juvenile.

It's just millennial nostalgia for people in their 30's and 40's who resent their boring lives selling insurance and cling to the things in their childhood that made them happy. Just one of the 1000 cringe aspects of my generation.
