I'm not really an HP fan, but I do think he was a character with a silly but still at points interesting character arc. Probably the closest I'll ever come to defending Harry Potter, but I do think that goes a bit too far.
The show (ATLA) was basically the brain child of 3 creators
it was a magical world full of cool shit until you start thinking about it and why wizards are so pants on head retarded that they can't get the american department of magic or whatever to help with the war against a wizard who apparently took over great britain by force
Also they didnt use toilents (the first example of which existed in 7000 bce) until the 19th century
it just got magicked into muggle sewage pits anyway
Yeah the worldbuilding of harry potter was falling apart under cursory questions loooong before Rowling took to twitter to reveal in explicit detail how wizards just shat themselves in public indian style and teleported the turds away without even wiping before muggle borns forced them to adopt the toilet.
super wizard sam hyde, after reaching the age of 30 and still haven't had sex wtih a woman (female), obtains his wand and just attaches it to his ak, says "time to visit the american department of magic"Yeah the worldbuilding of harry potter was falling apart under cursory questions loooong before Rowling took to twitter to reveal in explicit detail how wizards just shat themselves in public indian style and teleported the turds away without even wiping before muggle borns forced them to adopt the toilet.
Also IIRC she repeatedly said shit about how some nigga with a shotgun would be easily able to take out the average wizard which just turns the whole thing into a fucking farce when you consider this means that Voldemort and the Death Eaters could conceivably have lost in an open battle to Sam Hyde
let the muggles deal with it

EDIT: Lol like two people beat me to mentioning the designated shitting spells thing
Oh jesus christ I thought I had expunged the Hunger Games from memory, but it's all rushing back now like a tsunami of shit. I fucking hated those books, just like Ender's Game. Back then, I didn't have the knowledge of the terms that I do now, and couldn't properly express my anger towards those works, but I can go now.Joseph Campbell was a cisheterowhite Christian male. Checkmate, hater.
I almost want to see that rumored but shotdown Princess Bride remake now, rewritten through the goggles of 2019 wokedom. I'm starting to think what we need is a collective dark night[ s ] of the soul, to purge this shit from our collective system.

Hell, people seem to forget the very first thing we learn about Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games book is that she's trying to figure out the easiest way to kill her sister's cat. (Can't remember whether that bit is in the movies, though I suspect it wasn't.) I'm not sure this would fly in 2019, and this from a book published in 2008.
Honestly I think Harry Potter was the freakshow hybrid of a vaguely readable collection of stock British childrens book cliches and a massive media campaign by her publishers, aided by rowlings various journalist and writer friends which snowballed into it becoming a "phenomena" in a similar manner to various musical fads which blow up overnight, spread all accross the planet, and then swiftly die and get replaced by the latest craze.
Mary sue comes from a 70's Star Trek fan-fiction so it's been around for a long time, Korra has likely just stuck in your brain more than others.
I like how we are all just meant to pretend that Incel is a new insult, it's just a re-branding of Nerd/Geek as Hollywood turned those terms into pop-culture and profits.

I agree, actually. As much as people liked to dunk on Harry Potter, Rowlings was a technically competent writer. The first book was the epitome of a well-written self-contained YA wizard fantasy.
