@stux haven't for a while now..
Never got the books popularity...
Did read them and noticed the problems straight away
I never liked it in the first place lol, pirated
some movies but meh 🤷
The only things JKR brought to the table were cruel interconnects between the much better sources she stole from, plus lawyers.
When I read the first HP book, I thought it was a fanfic homage to the Worst Witch series or maybe Chrestomanci series. Or Books of Magic for the protagonist. Or Agatha Christie for plot. Nope. Complete rip-off.
OK, time to watch some Worst Witch! Or Owl House!
A pretty good summary of the wherefroms and examples:

To be explicit, I did very much enjoy the movies and the theme park, but didn't learn about JKR's mental and emotional challenges until later.
Nowadays, I can only see that HP was abused by cruel guardians, taken advantage of by a manipulative schoolmaster, and ended up becoming a cop--one with anger issues and violent tendencies.
BTW, Arthur Weasley? Also a cop. Those stories reek of copaganda.
