I'm proud to say I have never read the books or seen any of the movies. And I'm over 40.

You were probably too old for it when it came out. I'm in my 30s, probably right in the cohort that was at the older side of the targeted age as the books were releasing, and felt too old for it pretty quickly.

Nah, I'm sorry, but age is not a factor here. For people into fantasy, the opening 45 minutes of the first movie are fucking amazing. Doesn't matter how old you are, it takes a person right back to their childhood.

Fantasy lovers never lose that dream, to be magical and/or live in a magical place.
