And I'll agree that there's something slightly inconsitent about being a massive Potter fan in my 30s but hating Pooh - to a lot of people I know there is no difference at all. I swear the idea didn't cross my mind. You're perfectly allowed not to like Winnie The Pooh. I once read about the philosophy of Winnie the Pooh, and honestly, if I hadn't, I would only have seen the nonsensical story of a stupid, honey-crazed, loveable teddy bear and his friends. And as I've completely forgotten what the philosophical message of Winnie the Pooh is (only that Eyoore may or may not be an existentialist), the adult message still goes over my head. So I enjoy it, just like any other 5 year-old.
