Finished HP 1, now reading chamber of secrets. I love how whimsical and stupid everything is in the early books. Just a bit of dumb fun. Very british. Too bad JK got super srs and decided that akshually everything was meant to fit together from the beginning and it's a super srs world she built lol

I've avoided reading those books since I was 14 and this annoying ugly cheater girl on my school bus wouldn't shut up about it

I've also never seen the movies for same reason :marseyno:

Honestly it's a really great book series. It's ruined because fat millennial whores treat it as high literature, but if you look at it like you would the hobbit, it's a very fun and endearing novel about friendship and trying to fit in as a kid.

I think it has to do with characters growing up. The world looked more whimsical when they were kids but after the Goblet of Fire Harry is changed, he watched a friend being killed and his worst nightmare return to full power, so there's some theme about losing innocence.

That's not what I meant. The first books are filled with seussian absurdities that just don't mesh with the more gritty atmosphere of the later books. Which would be fine if she'd just ignore it instead of trying to pretend it was all meant to fit together from the beginning.
