Are ‘kidults’ a problem?
After Harry Potter actor Miriam Margolyes tells adult fans to grow up, we look at the concept of ‘kidults’. Is there anything wrong with a generation growing up later?
Harry Potter actor Miriam Margolyes has told adult fans of the franchise to grow up, prompting a discussion about whether younger generations are delaying the responsibilities of adulthood.
It’s a debate that spans culture and economics, so we look at what the data and the history tell us. Is there evidence that the ‘kidult’ is a real phenomenon, where do our ideas of adulthood actually come from, and what on earth is a ‘Disney Adult’?
