      (Although making Nagini into an *Asian* human in particular was kinda racist) But no, there's been a steady buildup of annoyance at JKR for a while now, and an ongoing backlash to the books' outsize popularity ("Read another book!" is a meme about it)

      For me it started with Goblet of Fire, when Hermione being appalled at the treatment of house elves was treated as a joke, and it just got worse from there as the characters continued to be unlikable people making bad decisions and never changed.

      I have a special resentment for the way bookstores slapped "Like Harry Potter? Try these!" onto authors like Tamora Pierce, Diane Duane, Jane Yolen, etc. I know, I know, most kids weren't like me and were new to this, but HOW DARE THEY IMPLY THE GRANDES DAMES ARE CHEAP KNOCKOFFS

      JKR's racist tendencies aside, I'm absolutely convinced Goblet of Fire is a rewrite of the first book? It's point for point the same main plot, but with extra creep added in. It's the Deluxe album version of book one...

      I remember it was surprisingly insightful of the A Very Potter Musical script to point out the House Cup and the Triwizard Tournament are two variations on the same concept and the latter exists because she "wasted" the former

      I really don't agree with any of this. It's a running theme throughout the books that as the characters get older, they keep revisiting touchstones of the earlier books and seeing them with more mature eyes. The House Cup/Triwizard Tournament parallel is one example of this.

      But you see it, also, in the way that the later books mirror the earlier ones. The childish obstacle course in Philosopher's Stone vs. the more dangerous scavenger hunt in Deathly Hallows. The two diaries in Chamber of Secrets and Half-Blood Prince.

      The Triwizard Tournament is a response to the way that the House Cup falls into Harry's lap in book 1. Unlike the triumph of the first book, this time he clearly doesn't belong, everyone resents him, and he's outclassed.

      Enh I don't really fully agree with this The first two actual trials in the tournament are both dramatic and glorious successes for him

      The "Potter Stinks" stuff is hurtful to Harry but it's nothing like Chamber of Secrets where people think he's the Heir of Slytherin and possibly the actual bad guy

      The Half-Blood Prince's notebook is like Tom Riddle's diary but LESS scary - it's not actually possessed or even magical in itself, the reveal of who its author is is really predictable and not that consequential

      The "rhyming" beats may be intentional, but they're not thoughtful or well executed They don't seem to me to escalate in any particular direction like you're arguing they do

          I mean a lot of the most remarked upon anticlimaxes in Harry Potter are directly because of this Sure, you can argue that the Philosopher's Stone and the Resurrection Stone are bookends But they're not very good bookends

          That's not what I'm arguing, though. It's not about the objects at all. It's about the type of story and how Harry relates to it - as a child playing a game, or as a young adult wearily completing a task he can't refuse. The whole point of the series is this transformation.
