I kinda think we're giving too little credit for how engaging and charming the original novels and characters actually are. It's a genuine accomplishment not to be sneered at.

Seconding this so hard.

Also, I distinctly remember how much talk there was back in the day about how extensively JK Rowling had mapped out the universe of the books from early on in the series. And I think the original series bears that out. Not that there weren't plotholes galore; I just don't think Rowling ever gave much of a damn about most types of plotholes.

The story was meant to be fun and fantastical, and the universe was meant to be sprawling and engaging and whimsical, and it succeeded wildly in being those things for millions of people.
