Y’know, the books/movies about wizards and whatnot. I have heard of it, but weirdly never read a book or (vaguely, can’t remember) watched a movie of it. Just curious on what are your thoughts on it?

I never read the books. I didn’t watch any of the movies until recently. They are reasonably entertaining enough, but certainly not worth being a cornerstone of western culture. Plus Rowling is absolute trash.
I remember thinking the goblin bankers seemed a little tone deaf (at best), and it looks like I’m not the only one who thinks that.
Surely there are better book franchises out there in the genre?
The worst witch is essentially Harry Potter without the classism/racism/shit writing and the author even called Joanne out for essentially stealing every single idea for Harry Potter from her.
E.g. the main characters being three social outcasts at a witching school where the nasty kid is a platinum haired high society witch who’s a snobby piece of shit. Literally just stole all the big notes of the books from worst witch.
If you mean fantasy, literally all of it. For example, books 4-6 of Dragonriders of Pern have very similar vibe (no magic though), but are infinitely better. If you mean teenage books, i enjoyed Flanagan’s Ranger’s Apprentice series quite much.
I mainly read non-fiction these days. When my daughter is a bit older, I’ll recommend that she look into the Flanagan books instead of HP.
