Not an e-celeb but I never liked Harry Potter and now I feel like I know it all along

I never really got too into it, it was always kinda just a franchise that I interacted with sometimes. Like if I was at a friend's house and they had the movies on or they had Lego Harry Potter on their console of choice I'd be into it. But it always kinda just struck me as an extremely generic franchise. I read the first book as a kid and then kinda just didn't feel compelled after that. I feel like there is so much more you could do with magic in a modern setting other than a half-assed isekai.

I was young and a lot of little things bother me enough to quit halfway through. I eventualy watched a long form review of the series and realized I was right about it being bad.

Funnily enough the guy who played Harry Potter seems pretty cool tho

True, iirc he made it very clear that he doesn't subscribe to JKR's transphobia

Played who? Oh, you mean the actor from Guns Akimbo! He's awesome.

You mean Swiss Army Man right, he was fantastic in that.
