The article’s last sentence says the same thing.

This take is much lamer than it gets credit for.

yes they did in fact

just do King Rat or Tai-Pan next.

GOOD. Not every show needs 5 seasons. Miniseries are great and we need more of them. 

That was made to be a show that adults could watch, too, though. 

Ah yes, just the show to put on when you’re wanting a “good time”..

You can do that when you have an order for another season in your hands.

Not much from my childhood I think I’d want to form the bulk of my online personality around. Can’t really think of anything.

100%  It’s fine to leave some things unresolved at the end of a season but you gotta have resolutions and tie up the main storylines.

People with Masters degrees who can’t actually read and comprehend sentences just blow my mind, I swear.

maybe the books after Order are good but my reread definitively halted with that one. It left me thinking the series buckled under the perceived necessity to escalate the conflict, tie the saga together, and integrate contemporary political commentary. 

Oh there’s all sorts of examples; my point is that while rereading Sorcerer’s Stone and Prisoner of Azkaban scratched a nostalgia itch, I will flat-out argue that Chamber of Secrets and Order of the Phoenix are unequivocally bad books and I arch an eyebrow at anyone over 25 who says otherwise.

Oh, definitely. It’s just in more of a stable lull now, not a full-on fervor. Dig a bit, and you’ll still find adults who refer to themselves as Ravenclaws or Hufflepuffs or whatever.

Potter adults are still a thing just like Star Wars adults are still a thing or Disney adults are still a thing. The books are still best sellers on Amazon, and tons of merchandise is sold at stores, even stores that focus on nothing but Potter stuff, and most of that stuff is targeted at adults with lots of cash, not…

I know a couple of people who have done the full Disney wedding, and it sounds like my personal hell. The crowds and rigmarole alone, man...

Counterpoint: have you tried rereading those books in adulthood? There’s plenty of childhood media I return to regularly, but rereading Potter I quickly realized they’re very much for kids and best left in the past. I wouldn’t publicly censure adults for still being in the pocket for Potter, but I’d be keeping some…

I like this take.

Adults should not be constrained by what’s considered mature or not, but people who have theme weddings are going to the Bad Place.

Honestly? Yes. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel, etc. tell simplistic stories with simple themes. They don’t challenge you, they’re comfort food. If you keep eating Kraft Dinner as your staple meal into your 30's and 40's you have an immature palate. If you are still super excited about Harry Potter into your 30's and…
