I make comparisons, but I also chuck out a lot of my expectations and preconceived ideas if it's a completely new universe. If it's an AU, then I treat that differently too.
But yeah, we read and process differently. Isn't that great?
The Potterverse...see above comments. It has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with values and generalisations. If I had kids under 13, I don't know if I could let them read it without discussing some of the themes involved. I would like my non-existent children to be a lot more broadminded than that.
