The first Harry Potter book came out in 1997. So that means pretty much every kid born around 1986 or after has had to live in a world ruled by Muggles. They have hoped that, one of these days, they’ll finally get their Hogwarts acceptance letter. Even if they’re 30 years old. But so you know what? Harry Potter isn’t all actually all that great. In fact, it’s full of glaring problems. Here are all the reasons why Harry Potter actually sucks.
The books aren’t well written
Let’s just go ahead and get this one out of the way first. While J.K. Rowling does an excellent job of world building, the story itself is beyond basic. Harry is undoubtedly good, while Voldemort is nothing but evil. The struggle is simplistic at best, and the writing reflects it. Plus, there are plot holes that just cannot be overlooked. (I’m looking at you, Peter Pettigrew and the Marauder’s Map.)
