I read this and Wendy Pini's and Ann Rice's responses to it yesterday. It is definitely sour grapes.
I was already well into my 20s when the Harry Potter books started getting big. I enjoyed them, though I admit that, until the last two books, I listened to the Jim Dale narration as an audiobook (I did read a physical copy of the first book before the first movie). The series does hit its stride or start doing so with the third book. I enjoyed them. I do wish I could have read them when I was a kid.
