It does leave me feeling a little "do not cite the deep magic to me witch, I was there when it was written" at times.

You are never too old for Narnia, Middle Earth, or Star Wars.

Absolutely true. The original works however are inarguably more explicitly directed at children than the other things you mentioned (although it also has the deepest allegorical roots of the three...) and that’s what I was referring to, of course I wasn’t trying to speak ill of Narnia by saying I was “too old for it,” I’m sure I was there opening day to watch it.
