it's such a dense and fully realized world built on foundations that are total nonsense

Yeah but Harrison "handwaving" worldbuilding is still doing better worldbuilding than Rowling has done on her most on-the-ball day ever.
-
I mean, i'm not Harrison's biggest fan, his prose is brilliant but he's … not great about women, like unfortunately many writers. And he can be really cold and distancing in ways i don't like. But he's a Great Writer. Rowling is a hack.

idk i haven't read harrison. harry potter was fun books
-
I doubt you'd like Harrison, from what i know of our respective tastes. I recommend Diana Wynne Jones' Chrestomanci books, though, for "magical Britain and some boarding school shenanigans" that are actually GOOD
-
And, like, Jones' Britains are really *Britain*, where Rowling's kind of … idk, it seems like it just elides all the stuff that makes Britain a real place? It kind of Hollywoodizes ITSELF, if you understand what i mean.
