Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm honestly curious about how it's going to turn out. I don't have any little kids in my life, so I don't know if it's still popular with children or not. I know reading in general is less popular than it used to be, but is Harry Potter still a series kids enjoy? Comments I read online are very divided, some people say their kids/kids they know absolutely don't care, while others say it's still a fairly popular series. I'm just wondering how it'll all turn out.

Also like. IRL I have never heard a single person comment negatively about JKR. It's such a huge switch from the online discussions.

It seems most kids today either aren't familiar with the series or don't care about it. I think the producers are betting on the reboot, with its relatively modern setting and its fresh faces, to create a new generation of young fans. As well as appealing to the nostalgia of adults who were never particularly active in fandom or left those days behind. It might pay off. The story is a stereotypical hero's journey of the type that tends to garner mass appeal.

The new adaptation is apparently canon-plus-Pottermore and draws on unpublished material, so active, perpetually-online fans are likely to detest it. But most of them are boycotting or otherwised predisposed to dislike it because of JKR.

Anyway, I'll have my popcorn out this Christmas. :)
