Book 7 is literally Deus Ex Machina:The Book

One of the many reasons you shouldn't forget your classics.

"Deserve"?

The main problems I have with Harry Potter are to do with the author herself and the fanbase surrounding her. Her books are completely acceptable for pre-teens but it's really quite annoying to see adults obsess over her novels.

I have fond memories of the series and saw the new movie for nostalgic reasons but I don't understand how people my age can still be so into it.

They might still get the letter to come to remedial Hogwarts.
I'm surprised that Rowling never saw Sabrina the Teenage Witch and the development it went through and thought "Hogwarts University"
Isaiah Cook
the thing is that the movie became just too popular to adults ignore

I remember adults raving about it on high brow radio in the late 90's before the movies.

I enjoyed it when I read it when I was twelve, and still consider it one of the best children books ever written; but it's a children's book it's not written for adults, and it doesn't deserve to be taught in schools, and it doesn't deserve to be read by people when there are thousands of other books in the western canon undeniably superior to Harry Potter

The fan base ruined it for me.
They just need to let the series die.

>high brow radio
Evidently not though

Rowling has no self-respect as an author. She allows fanfiction to preside over her own work just to please her SJW fans.
Justin Hernandez
If this were true, she would have made Scorpius and James canonically gay. She doesn't give a shit about her fans.

To reiterate what others have said in this thread, the books are good but they are for children. They are valuable in that they introduce some simplistic literary concepts to kids, some Christian elements, vague commentary on British classism but those that fixate on the books because they want to constantly relive that childhood feeling they had is infantile. Then I look at the people around me and It's no wonder it continues to be successful...

Why is the simple idea that they are good children's books so controversial?

harry potter got so many kids in to reading. i would bet that half of the people on Veeky Forums under the age of 30 are here because of those fucking wizard books

When you have kids you'll be able to compare some of them, and you'll find that they're really nowhere near the best. If a kid wants to read them who cares, but they're not great.
Leo Rogers
I preferred a series of unfortunate events as a kid. Not even saying this to be a contrarion, I just thought they were way cooler.
Anthony Ramirez
Anyone can listen to high-brow radio user, even plebs.

Good books for kids. But if you pride yourself on reading it after age 17 and they are the only books you've read among other media-propped up YA books, you need to go out into the forest and have one of those Native American spirit journey's until you become an actual person and not a automaton.

it was popular so i hated it. never found it particularly interesting. never found Emma Watson attractive because i could only see her as a child despite her being the same age as myself
