This is how I fell out of the fandom tbh. Not that I was ever really super deep into it (I was very shy and didn't speak English).
I basically got older and things started to not make sense anymore if I thought about it for more than five minutes (not just the world building, but also stuff crucial to the story like the twins never even raising an eyebrow at Peter Pettigrew sleeping in their brother's bed). The whole thing falls apart. I still think it's a great story for children and if it leads to people reading more, it makes me happy but this blind worship by older fans who still think it's perfect (as in, writing wise. I won't judge if someone thinks it's still perfect entertaining wise) and JKR is the bestest author ever wore me out over time.
(But lbr a looooot of people have taken some really clever fandom headcanons and treat them as canon by now without noticing. I think if JKR ever wrote the Marauders book everyone wants to badly, there would be a ruse awakening)

This is so true. It would never be as awesome as people have built it up in their minds, and so would just lead to disappointment.
It's kind of like how (okay, Attack on Titan's plot is actually less sensical than Harry Potter's, but roll with me here) they made the prequel about Levi's backstory (he's one of the most popular characters), and after hundreds of fics that told that story, the actual reality was incredibly underwhelming.
In that sense Rowling is smart in that she's branching the world of HP into other stuff that is linked, but not THAT closely linked, so there's less potential for massive letdowns.
