      You don't even have to get into the weeds analyzing the big stuff like plot and character and setting to criticize Harry Potter Just in terms of writing technique, JKR is addicted to bad writing choices that are so commonly criticized they're clicheshttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1310845770933972993?s=20 …
