I argued here that the whole HP shit was worth it because it was going to imprint in the consciousness and brew beneath the surface. Libs see it as tainted and that shit isn't going away. There are real moral concerns bothering them deep down.

Honestly harry potter basically destroyed my desire to read as a kid. I loved reading books, until Harry Potter. I gave up on the middle of like book 2, whatever it's called and didn't want to touch books until a few years ago. Now I'm always slowly progressing through a book at least, but oh boy did that set me back years of possibly reading cool books. Should've bought the hobbit or something
