Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere thinks the Harry Potter franchise hasn't "mattered for years?" Please.
Even more witless, is a claim by commenter btwnproductions, declaring that the franchise is the "dullest ever."
Adapting one of the most popular series of all time, this is a franchise that has reinvented itself over and over again with directors as diverse as Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuaron, and David Yates. Not only that, but the quality of the films--regardless of an already great source material--has vastly improved through the years.
If he's complaining that the films aren't tough enough a la The Dark Knight not being R-rated and vulgar and violent, etc, then he's just not getting the point. These movies are for kids, but they are sophisticated--almost to the level of the Pixar releases of the past five-six years. In other words, they give something for adults to tap into, especially in the entertainment department.
Fortunately, many other commenters on the site have refuted this madness much in the same way I am here. Granted, it's only an opinion, but a very brash, arrogant, and ignorant one.
And, as I always say, nobody beats HP when it comes to advertising:
