For Part 1: I understand this. I’ve never read the books, but I’ve seen all the movies and still enjoy them. I hate JKR, and will never pay a cent to support any of her new endeavors. But am I really hurting anyone by watching movies I already bought before JKR went Mask Off? I don’t think so. Same with you continuing to read books you already own. And if you don’t like any of the series people consider better alternatives to HP, then that’s completely valid, and you shouldn’t have to make yourself read something you don’t like. I personally love Terry Pratchett and The Earthsea Cycle, but they’re not for everyone. And that’s okay.

And for Part 2: I’m sorry your friend ruined the Percy Jackson books for you with her obnoxious passive-aggressive attitude! I honestly really don’t like purists like this. I love mythology, and Greek mythology was my gateway into that passion. But that doesn’t mean every work that uses mythological figures and stories are automatically lazy and derivative just because they’re not 100% true to myth. Especially a book series for young adults that’s definitely not going to have the gods be true to myth in some ways, especially all the rapey ways. PJO is a great book series that’s absolutely not lazy and derivative! It’s fun, has great characters, and uses Greek myth in creative ways. Some works can be slightly annoying to people familiar to myths if they get the stories and characters completely wrong. But I really only get that annoyance if the work was already bad, honestly. I’m pretty lax about things not being completely faithful if they still use the myths in interesting ways, and are enjoyable.
