The other thing is that Harry Potter is obsolete. Its a thirty year old series that hasn't seen a major installment in nearly two decades and its not good enough to survive the extended test of time on its own merit. More importantly, is that the growth it spurned in the YA novel industry led it to produce works that outclass Harry Potter in every way.
So can we please let Harry Potter die so that people stop asking me what my fucking Hogwarts house is?
And like, even the houses are terrible and an even worse way of categorizing personality than like zodiac or Miggs Bryers.
The houses are literally main characters, losers, evil people, and smart people (except the smartest person is in the main character house).
The houses are the sort of thing where I'm not sure how much of it is bad world building and how much of it is just British.
Definitely both. I never want to read the words "head boy" again in my entire life.
