If you ever enjoyed HP - do you remember why?
We moved recently, and as I was reorganising my books, I came across my old HP copies. Curiously, I looked into them and was appaled: Even though I had written in my PhD Thesis about HP (and its neoliberal content), I had forgotten how bad it was written (translated, German is my First language).
So, I tried to remember why I liked the series in the first place - because as a kid in the early 2000s,I pretty much was a Potterhead. And what should I say, I have no Idea. It was not for lack of taste - I read a lot and many German authors for young readers (perhaps unknown to English speakers) who are known for their style, I read the classics from Lovecraft to Tolkien, from Verne to Herbert...but nonetheless this uninspired scam of a book series caught me. I still Wonder why and thought asking here for your experiences might refresh my memory...
