it's middle of the road by modern pop-genre-fiction standards

by literary standards it's poorly written

even its fans say it doesn't get good until the fourth book.

I listened to the first couple while working.

It was decent for listening while working, but I would never want to sit down and read one of them

It's not Reddit. Harry is based. He opens doors for women and thinks about sex alot. He also is a skeleton nerd and talks about

>tfw no gf

He's also not described as he looks on the covers. He's more like pic related.

Not quite r9k tier, but more like a teevee dubsposter than a redditor.

It's basically a series of superhero movies with some light mystery elements. It's pretty fun, but it doesn't really get going until about book 3 when the wider magical world is introduced.
The characters are all pretty generic and the MC is basically spiderman but with magic, but the plot is fairly engaging when it wants to be.
There's very little in the way of actual thematic substance beyond "with great power comes great responsibility" and other capeshit platitudes, but it's a pretty good way to spend a weekend.

I consume a lot of fantasy fiction. But that's more because I want to know what to do and what not to do, if I ever came about writing my own.
