Within the last few days I've seen a specific thing brought up all over Reddit: the fact that young adult/children's literature can be enjoyed by adults, and this franchise has been the flagship for that cause.

I've also seen a lot of elitism amongst the users in this sub lately. Its slapped down for the most part, but its growing. There's a desire to have one's fandom justified by defending its validity, but here its slowly growing feral. This isn't the way to gain new fans, and I hate to see fans of this franchise become no different than fans of lesser YA lit, viciously defending it to the point of ridiculous instead of just enjoying it and happily sharing it with those you can get interested.

Just something I've noticed. I hate seeing people start labeling others based on their level of fandom (movies only, books only, combo) and looking down their noses at each other over things like that instead of just encouraging others to participate in more mediums, perhaps giving reason and suggesting things like audiobooks or e-books or something.

Just a few general observations.
