I started reading the HP books when I was in elementary school, by the time book 6 or 7 came out I had read most of Tolkien (this isn’t glazing Tolkien, honestly believe LoTR is only as big as it is bc it was the first), and a bunch of other more modern fantasy books. I did not continue to read HP because it wasn’t particularly good compared to what I was now reading.

A lot of these people love to claim that these books “grew up” with them, but I would argue that the truth is they didn’t really grow up. They read a series of books that were heavily marketed to them and never actually branched out, and it shows.

Pretty much my experience.

I did finish the last book, but it was truly dreadful and in dire need of an editor iirc
