I'm 29 & I like the HP books, is that wrong?

I don't think that is something to be ashamed about... i am older than you but i have read and re-read the Harry Potter books a lot of times now... and i know some people older than me who also love everything about Harry Potter and the world of wizards... I have been reading childrens books eversince i can remember and i have a good number of collection of these kind of books...

No way, books are a treasure. Nothing to be ashamed of. No matter what they are about, books sure bring about changes in your intellectual atmosphere. With every book you read, you add to your knowledge, the amount may vary depending on how nicely you've read it. Each sentence you see in a book, regardless of its nature, is the translation of a thought, idea. You have nothing to lose by reading HP books, they just condition you to the fictional or fantasy world and broaden your imagination. The type of book you choose rather has something to do with "conditioning" phenomenon of an individual than interpreting maturity or immaturity of an individual. If you constantly read fiction more, your are conditioned to that type of lifestyle where you enjoy the worldly fascinations more. If you are hooked to Non-fiction books like for e.g 7 habits, paradise lost, etc - you develop that sort of mind and balance - i.e you become more placid and hermit like. If you are an omnivorous reader, then probably you'll have knowledge about everything and a superior intellect. I think the question of being ashamed really does not arise here at all, it's your wish, your life, your taste and you choose. The golden rules of life cannot be applied here. Good luck:-)

weel theres nothing wrong with that.. and for me its not a children buk... yeah the 1st and 2nd buk are for chuildrens but if you look at the next buk it become an adult buk with all that mystery and take note of the deaths... and i cannot blame you because its amazing!!!!!

Ashamed? I don't think so. I LOVE HP books. What's wrong with that? J.K.Rowling wrote this for everyone, they say it's for kids just because it talks about magic and the main characters are kids but the books are for everyone, believe me. This books changed my world and if someone say that i'm stupid or retarded just because i'm reading HP I just say they have a mental illness lol. Really, don't be ashamed. Most of those people who look at you as if you were mental don't read the books because they are afraid of someone call them the same they call or think about you. ;)

no its cool.I will never out grow video games so we can all have childish stuff that makes us happy so enjoy them while you can.

no you shouldnt reading is good i wish i enjoyed it but i really dont besides reading about the new video games coming out and such but whatever enjoy I hope it makes you few young thats hard to come by.

i'm 30 something and i still read and enjoy children's books. i don't believe there is anything wrong with that at all. after all, as they say, there's always a child in each of us. happy reading!

i don't find any reason why ushud be consious of reading HP books.i am 30 and so are friends are all of us are hooked to the books...why we still read comics books,and fairy tales...and watch cartton movies!!

I don't see why you should,I'm 61 and have all the HP movies on CD. I am no longer a heavy reader,but I love the movies.

Of course not! I'm two years older then you and I love them, too. That was just an amazing series. I've often that children's books had better plots then adult books. My dream is to write kids/teen books one day.

Hello Nica...join the club! LOL i am 25 and i have read the books and re-read them several times. I love them so much. It has opened a new world to me and you can learn so much. Nothing to be ashamed of! I even keep visiting all the fan sites and download some of the rare pictures! A complete potter manic! and i am proud of it! so happy mylotting and enjoying Harry Potter and his world ;)

Not at all. Even though it's catagorized, I think Harry Potter is a series for everyone. not just kids.

naa..why be ashamed? I hear that they are well written. For what i know the movies do interest most age groups. So i guess the same can be said about the books. If you enjoy something, just enjoy!

If you are reading it is not wrong, shoot I have children and I make it a point to read everything they read, so I read babysitters club books and Junie B Jones as well as Harry Potter and I have grandchildren and I read their books too.

No.... Harry Potter is a great book and i think, everyone is entitled to read it... in fact, I never consider this as a children's book but a book of all ages.

i don't think so.i am 22 years old,but i like to watch Cartoons,and i don't feel ashame. everyone have the right to have a hobby.so,never think that is should be ashamed.^^

You should stand up for what you believe in. Besides, HP books are very popular this days Thanks for asking. Pls add me as friends

Not to be critical but it seems to me if you truly enjoy the series you wouldn't be too hung up on the cultural norms or concerns about what you should and shouldn't be reading. The very reason that people read and enjoy the Harry Potter books is because they are fun and whimsical allowing us to experience a world where fighting and facing are darkest foes and fears can be an adventure when we are supported by friends. So read because it is fun. Read them because they offer some wisdom and commentary on society or read them for whatever reason you have. But you love it just keep reading.

No, these books are more for adults then children anyways because its not written in "child" English. and I think teens/adults understand them better. Plus, your not the only one, I know people around (and older) than you who've read them. Plus, reading is nothing to be ashamed of.

I don't think that Harry Potter is a children's book. I think that it's a book for all the age! Now I'm 21 but I think I will go on reading them for sooooo long!:P
