One of the great things about rereading harry potter as an adult is being able to deconstruct it and critique with an adult lense. It was amazing first time round and it's a hoot to go back and see where it really worked and where it didn't. Some people just love to hate it because it's a popular series and, more importantly, a children's series. That being said, it's a series that grew with it's readers, starting out accessible to kids and becoming more like a YA series toward the end. Actual adults feel intimidated by the size of books 5-7, let alone kids 😅
This was very funny. it's so fun to read bad reviews, I did something similar on my channel early on and I want to revisit the idea. On HP though, people looking for a deep complicated story should look elsewhere and I think take these books too seriously as these reviews show. Rowling has some fun ideas that make for a fun ride but fall apart thinking about it for more than 2 seconds. Particularly the later half as it becomes increasingly more political, and Rowling blatantly ignores the own structural critique she sets of up of broader wizard culture. I don't like it when people say "it's a kids book, don't think about it that much" because children deserve well thought out, quality literature like the rest of us. But also, most people just want to rag on HP because it's popular or because of Rowling's views. I don't like HP not because I don't like Rowling, I don't like HP because I developed media literacy, re-read the whole thing, and realized this series storytelling and Rowling's writing are far from what I remembered it being.
It's Rowling like "bowling", but she's not the world's strongest advocate for addressing people by the name they prefer, so you'll get away with either. Related.... I probably wouldn't choose now to get **into** Harry Potter while so many of its fans are working to leave it behind.

People forget it's a book for kids, it's not going to be written like Shakespeare
The first one 😂
What a garbage rehash of a new hope, 1 star
