Well said! I personally love Harry Potter, though. I find the series and the characters entertaining and enjoyable, but I'm the type of person who likes a quick, simple read, seeing as my life's a bit too hectic right now for anything more complicated.
The black and white view in the first few books, admittedly, weren't appealing to me. I believe toward the last few books J.K. Rowling finally incorporated some shades of gray in her characters. Overall it was just a happy, feel-good entertaining series that doesn't invoke far too much thought, IMO, but that suits me just fine. I can see how it may not suit others, though.
