    They are easy to read and were some people’s introduction to fantasy/fiction (not everything is as dull as school assignments) and a set of shared experiences growing up.

      Even when the books were written I found even the concept pretty stupid. “You need a wand to do magic” 🤷‍♂️ “We can teleport but you have to use a train to get to school” 🤦‍♂️ And the story is a ripoff of too many previous stories.
