Are these worth reading. Currently reading a lot of "canonical literature" and wanting something light-hearted from time to time.
No it promotes divination, a slight against the LORD, used by the demons to promote the cause of sin and the devil. They play a role in Gods good and just plan, but all those that conduct themselves within it will not sit beside the throne of Christ.
>>24828122I have read and reread the entire series several times in my teens and early twenties. I'm 33 now and at this point I'm not really inclined to ever go for another read, but at the time I really enjoyed them. The tone gets noticeably darker and more mature with each books, so as an adult you may not fully enjoy the first few without the nostalgia factor. I'd say give it a try, you can finish the first one easily in one weekend.
Sorry op but reading this satanic literature will get you sent to hell. Try to repent while you still can
>>24828132Thanks for the genuine reply.>>24828127>>24828135What's with the Christian fear mongering (trolling)?
>>24828122their fun if you enjoy the world but certainly not winning any awards for the writing itself. their not nearly as bad as people like to claim though and can be quite whimsical and funny at times. overall would recommend. though like the other anon said, if you have no attachment to the series and it’s not nostalgic for you they might just read like run of the mill kids books.
>>24828122>old enough to post on 4chan>asks about kiddie literatureShoo! Shoo!!
>>24828122Its chud literature now with problematic themes

My nephew read these and immediately started getting fatter and gayer. He only wears sweaters now too. What do I make him read to reverse the spell.
>>24828122Not really, but they won't take much of your time. Fourth book onwards starts a dreadful pagecrawl but also gets into a bit of a groove pace wise and book 5 and 6 are worthwhile as far as young adult lit goes. First three conversely are aggressively mediocre for children books imho, but an entire generation found them life changing so what do I know
>>24828761>it's another episode of zoomcucks projecting reddit onto all millenialsCan't you broccoliniggers stay on tiktok and twitter?
>>24828782Careful anon the British are really prickly over any J.K. criticism and even in America some guy might dox ou to Reddit for being Voldemortish.
>>24828146Don’t listen to >>24828132 only the early books are worthwhile
>>24828557children's literature is important
>>24828792That's great, but kindly kill yourself.
>>24828812Chat look there a real Lucious Malfoy poster in here fr fr.>>24828808You know this whole Harry Potter thing and the internets rabid A.I. defense of her really says a lot of the modern media landscape. The center to left peoples since at least the 80's have been trying to make media unisex. Harry Potter was likely one of the greatest footholds of all time in this movement. So I suppose that may be why she's universally loved and defended. At least online by using a.i. bots she is.
>>24828122The only reason to read Harry Potter is to later read female Voldemort fanfics. Emily Riddle supremacy!
>>24828835I might be into this...
>>24828586Nope, I am a wizard.
>>24828146Cultural Marxists desperate to pretend those pesky Christians are the moral guardians, and not themselves.
>>24828122Read Harry Potter and Spellbook of Desires instead.
>>24828122>>24828132>>24828179Good replies and I think it is worth it for several reasons. It is a well enough constructed world that you can buy most of the events and it is a pretty important cultural phenomenon that is still relevant.I will remind you that these are kids books and this woman had the pulse on exactly what you need to make a world whimsical for children. Just enough adult stuff for kids to make a connection with surface level shit they might know about. As an adult, it has many, many inconsistencies and plot holes that can ruin the whole world.Like how all evil wizards are always Slytherin and how there's just one ministry of magic, how the quidditch world cup is basically one single game and how harry seems to still be so unaware of so many things in the wizard world, how the Weaslies are so fucking poor and a long list of etc. If you can look past those then you'll enjoy them.

When I reread the series as an adult the only one I really enjoyed is the Sorcerer’s Stone.
>>24829620Agree with this for the most part.I read HP for the first time in my early 30s (then-girlfriend was super into them). I was in college when they came out originally.I'm re-reading them aloud now for my kids, and there are a few minor gripes like the ones you mention.I'd say my biggest gripe, knowing how it ends up, is the ongoing depiction of Snape's hatred of Harry and Gryffindor. There's a frustrating lack of progression there (as of book four). Harry's been a student in Snape's classroom for 4 fucking years and he's still basically treating him the exact same way as he did in book 1. Obviously I know the reason for the animosity and prejudice but Snape's inability to see Harry for who he really is really borders on implausible. It just strikes me as something that could have been so much better. It seems to me by book 4, there could have been at least SOME tiny positive thing about Harry that Snape might have reluctantly acknowledged.
>>24828684I'm afraid only death can save him now
>>24828835Based
>>24828122It's comfy
>>24828792>the British are really prickly over any J.K. criticism and even in America some guy might dox ou to Reddit for being VoldemortishWhuh? The internet loves dunking on Rowling now.>how there's just one ministry of magicThere are tons of magical governments. They're not talked about in the books but in extra works like the Fantastic Beasts movies and Rowling's extra writings on Wizarding World.
