Some people really like Twilight -- maybe you are not the target demographic.

I really liked the first 4 Harry Potter books as a kid. I don't really agree with the criticism above. I thought it was cool to read about this little boy like me discovering magic and exploring a cool castle and fighting dark wizards.

There is a lot of criticism I agree with -- like isn't it weird that Harry's magic society is a capitalist paradise where he buys wands and his poor best friend spends their lottery windfall on a vacation so they must not be that poor, and anyway how can you have poverty in a post-scarcity magical society?

But on the other hand it was so relatable to see Harry go on shopping trips because that's what I was doing in the 90s/2000s, and having feelings about how the rich kid's dad always paid for him to have cool toys like a nimbus 2001...
