My experiences with the Harry Potter fandom have been pretty positive, and I don't think most people are that extreme.

But I do feel like there's some tendency, not just within the fandom but in general, to act as though because Harry Potter is wildly popular, it's a universally important and loved series. Maybe it's just me. I just remember being 12, being only moderately entertained by the first book (it was several years before I read the rest of the series), and being confused by what I perceived as this assumption that everyone both read the books and recognized Harry Potter as super awesome.

I think I got this from the mainstream media more than the fandom, though. Within a fandom, it's more natural for people to feel like their fandom is the coolest thing ever, and while sometimes people can get annoying about it, it's often pretty innocent.

You expressed my feelings very well. Sure, I liked Harry Potter, but it's not the be-all and end-all of our generation's entertainment.
