I started reading Harry Potter in 4th grade (1999). Since then, I had been rereading the series every 12-18 months. However, in the past 5 years or so, I’ve tried rereading them and I just can’t seem to get into them anymore. I don’t know what my problem is. Maybe I’ve read them too many times? It makes me sad, though.

I'm sorry to hear this :( I empathise with this. It's very possible you have become overly familiarised with the books and the novelty has worn off. Happened to me with Tolkien. It's ok to take a break and return after a while. The loss of novelty is completely normal but definitely something that makes me sad when it happens with something I used to love.
