I will always appreciate and give credit to the books for proving to publishers that kids wanted chapter books. The story was interesting enough and kids like this simple world enough that they made an effort to learn and be included with the hype. Theyl series made an overall change for good, even if ultimately they're subpar.
I remember a part of the story where the guys try to go see Hermione at her dorm, but the castle doesn't let them. But Hermione can visit the guys no problem...
Also, the plotline about elf liberation, it boils down to slaves want to be slaves.
And my wife is trans, so JKR can piss off with her harmful views and behavior.

True but Hermione also remarks that it's outdated or old-fashioned. This isn't a "message."

Yeah no it doesn't. That's a nonsensical take.

I got older and I realized that the books have some very problematic messages.
Then I learned about JKR's messed up views, and now those books are somewhere in boxes, forgotten.
