Even further, everything she has ever written. 😆 All the HP movies are just as shite. And the books, I’m embarrassed as all hell to see adults watching or talking about any of it seriously. It’s a children’s book and movie series. If you’re an adult, find something else worth your time. 🫡🗿

That’s great you had that experience—I read maybe 1 thru 4 as a kid. My problem comes with people clinging onto these things that helped them as children, expecting them to still be of any use—if someone hasn’t actively cultured a taste for new things throughout their life something is fundamentally wrong.

Agree to disagree. I’m proud that Harry Potter shaped who I am today.

It started with my mom reading it to my siblings + me during bedtime, and continued into a coming-of-age guide about belonging, fighting evil, experiencing loss, etc.
