They are as politically salient as they are diverse and inclusive—beautiful, wonderfully written works.

I kind of like Harry Potter.
I know they're reactionary trash, and jk is a terf, but like, Woody Allen's Sleeper was pretty funny and the marvel movies are fun to watch. Harvey weinstein produced the lotr movies. Bad people can make things that are entertaining, I guess.
Whats my point again?
They're grand kids books for sure, but it's a bit sad and very obnoxious when people remain obsessed with it into adulthood. You can def look back on the books you enjoyed as a child for the nostalgia, but fucking challenge yourself a bit, don't just remain in a bubble you created when you were 8 years old.
I was at this stage of the argument a few weeks ago, and then I went back to look at some other books I loved as a kid, and guess what:
Harry Potter is just bad literature. Even taken outside the views of the author it's a poor story with enormous narrative inconsistencies, and the existence of everything else I've just mentioned is proof enough of it being A Fuck.
If I ever have kids they won't be reading it. They will ABSOLUTELY be reading Unfortunate Events though, that thing slaps.
abso-fuckin-lutely
ive considered reading it again as an adult at some point
Yes, good call. Great books
