73 years young and I still occasionally check out what I loved about the Bobbsey Twins. HP is very clever. The only one that’s written for children is the follow-on movie that’s dreadful - Magical Creatures. And I do have trouble with the original Lord of the Rings book, The Hobbit. That was written with simple subject/predicate style that I found screamingly annoying, but the movie avoided that problem.

Ya got a couple years on me, then!
:D

Never cared much for fantasy films, with the exception of very few personal faves - e.g “Wizard Of Oz”. Can’t stomach animated-CGI movies, love the old cartoons tho (like Bugs Bunny).

In my film-snobby view, the list of must-see films made since circa early 1980s is a relatively short one. Found a good site for streaming movies that has a good selection of many of the types I like (instead of Netflix):
