*sigh* i think you are right that it stems from the books and Albus and Scorpius being 11 the only time we see them. I mean, I know that and I do understand that somewhat.
My issue is that I would think that as a fandom we've opened our mind to the possiblities of years down the line. If I talked to some misc. fan of the books I met standing in line at the grocery store and mentioned 'Harry/Scorpius is sooooo HAWT'. I would assume she would turn and flee the creepy lady.
But the people in HP have been living and breathing the 'possiblities' this universe gives us for years. There have been so many wonderful fics about adult characters pre-DH or pre-HBP when the kids were all 15, 16 that I don't see why it is so hard to think of Scorpius or Al being 17 or even 24.
I mean, look at AS/S it's not all about two eleven year olds? Or did that take time for people to accept?
sorry if I'm babbling... I'm totally high on cold medication. *sniffle*
