> Also, how many 62-year olds can recognize HP on the spot? how disconnected from reality do you expect to be at 62? Harry Potter has been a pretty huge franchise since around 1997. A 62 year old would be 43 at release. That's a pretty common parenting/soon-to-be-grandparenting/grandparenting age, I'm sure more than a few of them would be exposed to it. I don't know whether or not what they say is true, but I disagree with ageism playing into their credibility.
