you also have to take into account that it depends on what you, yourself want vs what others are saying here. There is no set rule. some may want what others have said here and have just a few things in common and others, perhaps like you, want more things in common. There is nothing wrong in either expectation, just different.
I will say that more so than anything, values and points of view are far more important than the common interests themselves. Sure those common interests can be more to do together but sharing how you view life, the universe and all the other things is even more critical.
Also, lastly but most importantly it will be rare that anyone can find someone that enjoys a majority of things they do. There will always be some differences, its just a matter of how much value you place on the "number" of interests you share
