A. S. Byatt authored a New York Times editorial calling Rowling's
universe a “secondary world, made up of intelligently patchworked
derivative motifs from all sorts of children's literature [...] written
for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the
exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps,
reality TV and celebrity gossip". Byatt went on to analyse the series'
widespread appeal and concluded that this "derivative manipulation of
past motifs" is for adult readers driven by a desire to regress to their
"own childish desires and hopes" and for younger readers, "the powerful
working of the fantasy of escape and empowerment, combined with the fact
that the stories are comfortable, funny, just frightening enough". The
end result being the levelling "of cultural studies, which are as
interested in hype and popularity as they are in literary merit".[

Yikes, what the criticism! lol!

I think it's easy to overlook the difficulty in producing a literary
work that appeals to all ages. I definitely couldn't do it.

It sounds as though the columnist views the series as pablum; maybe at
heart that is so, but I like it anyway!

yeah i've noticed that. more women come out and say they like HP rather
than guys. i know a few guys who like HP but they aren't obsessed with
it or don't willingly come out and say it. you have to ask if they like
it or not -.-
