>Harry Potter isn't anything particularly special

Oh boy it's this hot take again. Yes, Harry Potter seems a bit dull once you hit adolescence and can see it for the hedonistic cartoon that it is, but you faggots always underestimate how good this stuff is to kids. You cannot understand the mind of a 12 who reads Harry Potter, it's like injecting heroin from outer space directly into your fucking heart. When I read this shit as a 10 year old kid in the late 90s/early 2000s it was my whole world, whatever Rowling tapped into here is a more powerful force than probably even she understands. Whatever it does, it does it better than any YA before or since, so to call it "nothing special" is a brainlet decree. There is something very special about Harry Potter, it's just hard to see it when you are older and cynical.

so when will The Passenger be released?
