it's dogshit I don't know how people liked it
every creature in the book has already been done a billion times
it's unique selling point is that it's kids doing magic but then all the weird shit that happens at schools is never mentioned - there's no unique spin or imagination of how school would be delivered and how logistics of the world around them would be. The implications of magic are fucking enormous and none of it's considered.
As a kid I tried to read them at a few different ages - every time I thought to myself 'damn, I wouldn't want to be friends with anyone in this book.'
They're all lame cretins - when I was thirteen I was doin loads of fun stuff, makin crude jokes, doing dumb challenges, gettin into fights, saying terrible things about people - just generally being a complete moron.
Maybe it's just not made for me. I always hated YA novels or ones that are about kids saving the world.

I think one of the main reasons hp blew up is because every book covered one school year and most books were coming out once per year. So for example when I was 12, harry potter was 12 too, same at 13, 14, etc. We aged at the same time. I remember finding him relatable when he was too shy to ask a girl out in the fourth book, you know, generic teenager stuff. I also remember reading the first one when I was fourteen and I was kinda bored of it because I was basically too old to read it.
I don't understand how anyone can get into these books without being hp's age, but for me and everyone in my year it was pretty easy.
