Harry Potter became the best-selling book series of all time by spinning up a world where children belonged, developed skills useful in collaboration with and/or against adults, often knew better than superiors & weren't afraid to try. IMO this subgenre remains largely untapped

Harry Potter became popular because Tolkien was too hard for kids that didn’t read good.

Replying to @themarcusnewton @kierankyle
I found Tolkien intolerably focused on context and strategic world-building. That's a preference I respect, but I'm definitely personally one of the "kids that didn't read good," I guess.
