No other author has had as great an impact on literacy as her. She taught a whole generation to love books.

Every friend of mine who read Harry Potter as a kid is now an adult who doesn't read anything. A few of them moved to stuff like Hunger Games, but that's about it.

I read Harry Potter as a kid and I'm still an avid reader. I did also read other literature as a kid.

I don't think the issue is that they read Harry Potter as kids, I think its that they're normalfags. Most people don't enjoy reading past a certain age, if ever. They move on to easier mediums, like film or games.

I also enjoyed Harry Potter as a kid and revisited it later and enjoyed it again

I never read any of her books, so I have no opinion about their quality.

However, most of the people I know who have read her did so as adults.
Adults who read Patterson, Clancy, Koontz, and maybe King.
Kids who read her probably grew up to be adults of similar tastes.
Not exactly high lit.
Doesn't mean she's bad, just not in the same league as my favorite pretentious dead authors.

eventually you'll stop trying to justify having spent 10 hours of your life on a series of films you thought you would enjoy because you're a pseud

people waste hundreds of hours watching terrible television, 10 hours being a pseud is not nearly as bad

I read up to the last chapter of the fifth book, then put it down, then tried to read it again, put it down, did that a few more times, then realized I didn't give a single fuck.

I only remember the story from the films. Thanks JK, you bored me awake.
