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.

I’m a massive fan of the audiobook versions of the Magicians series, which I consider to be among the best narration performances from the hundreds of audiobooks I’ve listened to. I gave up on the tv series halfway through episode 1. Should I give it another shot?

It's different, it's more of an ensemble show whereas the books are more Quentins story. It got a bit silly towards the end but it was still a fun watch. I suggested it to my BF (huge Buffy fan, mild HP fan) he binged the whole thing in a week.

Sometimes you bounce off shows the first time. It isn't a faithful retelling of the books but it's got most of the major notes.
