I'm so over HP. It was a popular book decades ago. I'm 41 (5 years older than the first HP actor) and I remember the "controversy" over the fourth book being so much longer than the others. I've read many other books since then that were better.
If you want grown up magic school stories check out The Magicians. One of the rare cases where the show is better than the books.
The Magicians is a book series!?
Yep. Three books by Lev Grossman. They focus more on Quentin, the show features the other characters more.
