I am 21 and was a strong opposer of Harry Potter while everyone was so into it. But, when I was about to start college, I decided there HAS to be a reason all of the smartest people and the adults I knew were obsessed with it. So I read the Sorcerer's Stone and never looked back. To be able to be in college, when I am stressed more than ever, and pick up a book that allows me to escape means a lot. Jumping into Hogwart's allows me to escape. Also, Harry Potter is a big unifying factor in college. Almost everyone is obsessed and every theater around here plays the old movies weeks in advance of the releases and everyone spends all night at the theater making sure to get a good seat. Nothing makes me happier than my 'Undesirable No. 1' shirt I bought last year.
