\\\"The stories quickly became one of the most well-known classics in modern Equestrian literature, and \\\'\\\'\\\'are popular with grade-school pony classes\\\'\\\'\\\'. There\\\'s also a large adult fanbase as well; Princess Celestia herself has even praised the series. It is as of yet unknown if the series as a whole is complete or if further volumes will be \\\"found\\\".\\\"

How can you claim that it\\\'s not for grade school kids when it says EXACTLY THAT in the main page? This is about the \\\"core sixteen\\\" books BTW. Also there are a \\\'\\\'number\\\'\\\' of references to a large PeripheryDemographic consisting of adults. It wouldn\\\'t make sense to have this bit of information when adults were the target demographic all along.

Anyway, as I see it, the series appears to be much like Tintin (Which in a way is a grandpappy of the genre that Indiana Jones is a part off): It\\\'s supposed to be a decades-old series that was originally written for children (pony children in this case), but it\\\'s now probably considered FairForItsDay. It would get a higher rating if it was a newer series, but since it\\\'s been around for longer then the ratings themselves were around for, it\\\'s under the effect of a GrandfatherClause. It being a Harry Potter analogue also fits in.
