    They are easy to read and were some people’s introduction to fantasy/fiction (not everything is as dull as school assignments) and a set of shared experiences growing up.

      Even when the books were written I found even the concept pretty stupid. “You need a wand to do magic” 🤷‍♂️ “We can teleport but you have to use a train to get to school” 🤦‍♂️ And the story is a ripoff of too many previous stories.

        World building was shit. New stuff was being added in later books that, if it existed in early books, would have made the story so different.
