I think he's like 10 or so in the first book. Since kid's media tends to really work for kids slightly younger than the protagonists, I feel like someone would have had to have been in their later elementary school years (~3rd-5th grade in burgerland) for it to really take hold.

Middle school is kinda pushing it lol.

I know several people who are my age or older who have basically only read Harry Potter.

biden-pain I know "read another book" is super cliche at this point, but damn what else can you say to those people

I've posted this before, but it still horrifies me. I know a couple who quit Harry Potter when Rowling publicly went full TERF. Now they exclusively read . . . Harry Potter fan-fiction.
