Just go into the world of fanfic and you will ind the 'secret' is not so secret.
Besides, from Poa on, HP is no children's read, really.

That only proves that HP isn't meant for children and children only 
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Most people don't keep their love for Harry Potter a secret, why should they? HP appeals to all ages, it helps people escape from reality as they enter this magical world. I know several adults that love HP, and I'm one of them. My cousin is actually having a Harry Potter wedding on August 1st, lol.

Secretly COME ON PEOPLE WHAT R U WAITING 4? My parents dont really care abt HP and neither do my sibs but my LEGALLY an adult cousin LOVES it. Speaking of her... I bet her ten bucks that the Hogwarts motto is latin and means "dont tickle sleeping dragons" while she also thinks latin but "dont tickle sleeping snakes" Both could possibly be faytal so lets not try either. Anyone sure wich?
