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)

It's kind of hilarious how she tries to go back on this later and can't Like it's almost impossible to actually write out an account of a Quidditch match where the Seeker *isn't* the hero of the game

She later makes Ron a Quidditch hero in the position of Keeper, where he completely shuts out the other team from scoring any goals for the whole match Which, sure, is impressive, but takes place entirely offstage

The point was that he wasn't, Harry just let him think he was but kept the real potion for himself as a Dumbo's magic feather thing
