I have a lot of nostalgia for Final Fantasy 7. Amazingly, when I played Trails in the Sky many years later, I did kind of feel that nostalgia for a well-made JRPG. I guess I’m saying it’s possible.
If you’re looking for something to read and haven’t read it yet, try Douglas Addams The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s (edit: not) public domain.
It’s not even close to Harry Potter, more of a sci fi comedy, but you won’t regret reading it. When I finally got around to reading it, I couldn’t put it down after I started, and this was well into the time where I was mostly playing video games instead of reading anything. Iirc, I read the first two in that first sitting, went to sleep, then read the rest the next day.
Having read all five books of the trilogy as well as Eoin Colfer’s And Another Thing, I 100% support this suggestion even though it’s not what I’m looking for here.
It might work better if you recommend them an alternative. “Don’t do this” is bad instruction. “You can do this instead” is better.
I’ve heard good things about Discworld, for one.
Recommendations may be nice, but I doubt it can replace the childhood nostalgia for a lot of people.

Yes you can. You don’t speak for all of us. Many of us moved on and expanded our pallet just fine and are happier for it.
It’s actually really good for your brain to keep finding new things for developing it.
Novelty is love. Variety is the spice of life.
(Pallet =/= palate)
You can definitely experience nostalgia for things you’ve never experienced before.
If it replaces the childhood nostalgia of at least one person, it will have been worth it.
Discworld is great but something else entirely. Closer comparison would be Percy Jackson or a more ya magic school would be the scholomance books
Much better and funnier than anything from that witch.
