    Its pretty mid.

    I was a book kid, who grew up and was 13 to 17 during the release of the HP series.

    I read mountains of YA books and adult alike. Spent tonnes of weekend days at the library.

    HP was okay, it wasnt bad.

    But it wasnt the best either. I would absolutely say stuff like Sabriel and the Bartimaeus trilogy were substantially better.

    Oh and dont even get me started on Redwall, Jacques was an amazing writer who knew how to craft incredible worlds.

    By comparison to those, Id score HP closer to a 6 or so.

      I love you. THE goddamn Bartimaeus Trilogy. I have been searching “bartholomew djinn adventure” “bartoman magic series” and “funny djinni soup” for SO long. Im gonna go fucking read those books again. Various forms of praise for you, etc.

      Sabriel and Redwall were my jam as a kid. I still revisit the Abhorsen series from time to time. Basically I reread them all when Nix releases a new book.
