The more you make a world similar to ours and the less you are concentrating on the political socio and economic landscape as relevant to the plot, the less world-building matters. HP is essentially about relationships and how they contribute to your moral fiber, so i don't need to know much about the wizarding world except as to how it complicated or enhances those relationships. So the incomplete worldbuilding doesn't affect the quality (to me). And shitting on the quality of HP because of the worldbuilding doesn't make sense.

Buuuuuuttttttttt there are plenty of books for which the political socio and economic landscape is EXTREMELY relevant to the plot and it needs to be good like, 1984 and Brand New World. Those books are about how people connect to their environment so you know what, i need to know some shit about it and it better make sense.

So i have to disagree because i think it depends entirely on what the book is trying to do. But I think the focus on world-building as a shorthand for quality in sci-fi and fantasy does obfuscate what some of those books are trying to do.
