It is very easy to read. If anything, you might want to read it because it's a change of pace from more mature stuff, and doesn't take months to get through.

So it's a children's book. Does that mean it can rouse my lost sense of childlike wonder, or does it simply mean it'd be too childish to be interesting?

Probably the latter but potentially the former. They're not difficult reading and the first books aren't that long so if you're curious you may as well give it a shot

I liked the first one, I felt like jk rowling got caught up in making the books more cinematic and then realized she was doing that so tried to find her original approach but it was too far gone by the end to really save the series, in my humble opinion. But again, SS is like reading Christmas on every page.

Fellow right winger here. I think she's a crypto conservative. Our at least I project her future leanings to be conservative. I watch too see her cope or watch her try to hold it together. She's p smart, I like her.

It's really kinda boring. Unless you want a break from a more mature genre of books, I wouldn't worry about it.
