Anon can't go on a field trip

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
This is what I tend to say to people about Harry Potter as a series. It was the first series like it to become popular, and that's its only merit. Overall it's very tame and bland, but it got lucky and became popular. I didn't like it because it was too same-y. After book 3 or so, I don't care about Harry Potter anymore. Explore someone else that's more ordinary. It makes a much better setting for derivative works, which to me as someone who writes textbooks of lore for RPGs is more important than just making a series sell well.
