I agree now as an adult that Harry Potter isn’t that great. But I was about 6 or 7 when my mom bought me the first book and we read them together. It was my first book so I had nothing to compare it to. I absolutely loved it and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Those memories are extremely special to me and many other people have similar experiences with it. Now that I’m an adult, I’ve tried to reread them and yes I believe she was very mediocre with her writing, but I was still a massive fan so it still felt awful when she unleashed her bigotry. I don’t understand why any of that is funny or why you think young children should’ve held their first series of books to such a high standard as to what you have today.
