I mean, it's weird. I got into HP by reading the books myself and discussing it with my friends about it, but I didn't really become obsessed with it until I joined the HP fandom online! That opened up so many great cans of worm for me, so I became more involved with the characters and the world as I read and wrote all those fanfictions. So I think with my involvement of the fandom, it allowed me to stay with Harry and the gang even with the end of the book (I'm not a fan of the movie, and I haven't watched any of it since the fourth one), and for what it's worth, Harry Potter is a timeless epic, like you said. For me Harry Potter has plenty of familiar themes that have already transcended through other timeless classics, and with JKR's style, she wrote it in a way that could be enjoyed and read by many.
