I'll admit I never finished the books because I thought they were bad. I thought it was annoying that Harry never paid rent while living at the Weasleys. Never bothered to offer to help with the car repairs for the car he helped total. I thought Voldemort was a boring villain and was genuinely surprised when he returned in the second and third books. I found it really annoying when Harry kept loosing positive father figures.

I found it surprising when the Hermione/House Elves storyline never went anywhere. That the racial and classism issues never really challenged outside of "the right ones" being uplifted.

Here's the pattern. JK likes her status quo. Another pattern, she's also a bad and boring writer. There's a whole subgenre of fictions that's basically "Harry Potter, but fixed".
