      Hot take: Harry Potter isn't as blatant as future isekai, like it straddles the line between "isekai" and more general "Chosen One narratives" But it's the world's most popular isekai https://twitter.com/AnaMardoll/status/1272191907414913024 …

      Harry has his ENTIRE LIFE turn around ridiculously completely and quickly in the course of the first book "Yer a wizard, Harry And you're an independently wealthy millionaire And you're a deeply beloved hero for saving the world, by accident, when you were a baby"

      "Oh also it turns out you happen to be a once-in-a-lifetime talent at the world's most popular sport, which literally involves flying In fact the way the sport works, everyone else on your team doesn't matter and you're the hero of every single game"

      The A Very Potter Musical trilogy's song, "Harry Freakin' Potter", is great because it both celebrates and mocks this by just laying it out unabashedly "YOU'RE HARRY FREAKIN POTTER"

      Anyway nowadays the actual light novel genre that actually is called "isekai" has taken "isekai tropes" up to the point of obvious self-parody and it's become a whole self-aware meme that the wish fulfillment fantasy of an isekai is immature and fucked up

      Which means maybe we can talk a bit more openly about the "guilt" side of Harry Potter being a "guilty pleasure"

      (Quidditch seriously almost is to the point of self-parody already though I mean she couldn't just make Harry really good at scoring goals in a game where you win by scoring goals It's set up so Harry does ONE HUGE DRAMATIC THING every match, which ALWAYS ENDS THE GAME)

      Feels weird defending JKR right now, but I feel like a lot of criticisms of the series come from the misguided placing of HP in the YA genre, and not recognising its context as British Children's literature that gradually formed a newer YA genre as the characters grew.

          And so people read them expecting a sort of proto-Twilight but the lineage for the first few books is much more a sort of mix between Tom Brown's Schooldays and Captain Underpants.

          Which is not to say "they're for kids, they're not supposed to be good" but that they're for younger kids, and based on younger kids books, than most people think.

          Oh, I contextualize it in British children's literature. The whole opening section of Philosopher's Stone is a Roald Dahl novel with capering cartoon grotesques of baddies as 2D 'fatties.' And then she tries to turn that into a c19th bidungsroman

          The Durselys are VERY Dahl-esque. Not quite The Twits but clearly of that mould.
