      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

      As in, the big exciting upset of Gryffindor taking the House Cup back from Slytherin had already been done and couldn't really be repeated so she felt the need to escalate it somehow and tie it into the Voldemort plot

      Like, it actively DOES NOT MAKE SENSE that something like the Triwizard Tournament would just let them give Hogwarts two champions and double the chance of winning on a technicality It's EXTREMELY awkward

      There's a bug in how the Goblet is constructed and everyone just goes along with it rather than just... I dunno, collecting names manually and picking out of a hat

      To be fair, though, that's completely on-brand for the idiot wizards in HP who would rather stick their heads in a fireplace or send OWLS than just buy goddamn cell phones because EWWWW, MUGGLES

      I have seen the viral Reddit post yelling about the obvious fact that Harry Potter is supposed to be a whimsical world where everything is goofy and ridiculous and trying to CinemaSins it for realism is just missing the whole point

      I get this, I agree with it, and I would argue the reason so many Harry Potter fans get annoying about this is that Harry Potter did this to itself when JKR very awkwardly tried to make the transition from goofy Roald Dahl cartoon to dark epic fantasy over time

      YES! The first couple of books were very Roald Dahl whimsical but then the books themselves started to try for something more internally consistent and it DID NOT WORK

      The biggest example here is the one off joke about how Aberforth Dumbledore has sex with goats - which is a bit tonally off, especially for a kids book, but whatever - and how badly this clashes with later meeting Aberforth and hearing him angst about his childhood

          When it was just a random joke it was kind of funny for Albus to drop the line "Then again I'm not sure Aberforth knows how to read"

          After she tries to Cerebus Syndrome this with Aberforth talking about how much he resented his brother's success making him neglect his family it makes Albus look like a gigantic petty piece of shit, even now In a way that does not serve the story
