Is it worth reading the books as an adult?I never read it, only saw the movies up to Prisoner of Azkaban. I find JK Rowling based.
>>24977229Are you a young adult male who is currently peaking in terms of potential? If yes then should you be spending your time reading childrens stories?
>>24977258Im past my potential. 31yo here. Just want a comfy reading.
If you liked the movies, maybe? It's been a while since I read these. I read them when I was a kid.You're not going to find anything terribly "based" in there, if that's what you're looking for.
>>24977267I'm surprised you managed to skip these given your age.The first two books probably won't excite you as much as anything that follows them. I seem to remember book 3 being much better than the preceding two and enjoying 4 through 6 a lot. I remember thinking 7 was a bit weak.
They're not even worth reading as a child.
>>24977229just listen to the audiobooks
>>24977229The only one I remain fond of as an adult is the first one

I read Narnia to my kids recently and they were surprisingly good, if spare. The Hobbit too. My oldest actually sat through the Aeneid too, although it was maybe a bit too violent.
>>24977229>I find JK Rowling based.She's not. The entire underlying theme of Harry Potter is that racemixing is good, and the purebloods who want their offspring to look like them are evil. She forces as many africans into the story as possible, even having Harry's love interest (Ginny) make out with a nog in public, in front of her classmates and family members. There's a reason that these books have had such culture dominance over the last couple decades, and it's not because they're well written. JK Rowling has also personally donated millions and millions of dollars to the UK labor party, supporting the invasion of migrants into Europe, while she sits in her castle in Scotland.
