They were very popular in the UK at the time (80s & 90s). All my friends were into Mr Mole. But they were mundane where Harry Potter was fantastical and that hit a lot of kids. Kids love fantasy. Adrian Mole made you look at the things you had to go through in life, much that you didn't, in a funny way. But HP let you imagine escaping all that and having adventures. We all wanted to go to Hogwarts.

Though if you want to compare another great British series. Why did the Worst Witch never break out? HP owes a lot to that series.

It has a bit! It's on like its fourth live action version I think, and has a following amongst young adults.

Adrian Mole was quite subtle in some places, and also aged in real time. It wasn't exactly hostile to the reader but you did have to pay attention. Harry Potter didn't have a lot to say by comparison.

The Worst Witch, my sense has always been, is very much a kids' series. Harry Potter I think is pitched a little bit older even from the start and that gets increasingly more true as the series goes on.

I remember reading the Worst Witch books as a child after reading the Harry Potter series. I was obsessed with Harry Potter, but had read all the books that were out at the time multiple times, so the Worst Witch books were... similar in plot but not something I'd read before.

I actually reread some of both this year (first five HP books and first two Worst Witch books), and the Worst Witch books are definitely aimed at a younger audience. They're very short, the plots are less complicated, and there isn't as much detail given to the world the characters live in. Even though I liked them as a child, I doubt they would appeal to many teenagers or young adults like HP did.
