Yep. People are constantly shitting on Harry Potter, but it's all sour grapes or identity politics. It was an international phenomenon for a reason and that's due to the characters, universe and story. Was it perfect? No, but it's still going down in history as one of those timeless stories just like Lord of the Rings.

Ah yes, agreeing with sour grapes and identity politics.

Nice to know you're more comfortable with transphobes and going, "YOU'RE JUST HEALOUS OF ROWLING." True colors showing through.

*rolls eyes*
Yeah, that's it, exactly.
Hiya, Tabaqui-hater anon! Grow some balls and put your name to your hate. OR, alternately, find all the quotes of me on F!S and elsewhere where I'm hating on transgender people. My nibling would be SO interested in seeing those quotes.
You utter numpty.

Despising JKR and her nonsense but enjoying the flourishing creations that fans have made of her work can actually go...hand in hand! Shock! Awe!

No, come on. It has many excellent attributes, and also many, many, many glaring flaws, completely separate from the later descent of the author into bigotry and nonsense. It's not some timeless perfect story. Most of the problems that people have with it are extremely well-justified.

And that's particularly true of the worldbuilding. The worldbuilding is charming but it's hardly in-depth or novel or amazing. It's a whimsical coat of paint on top of pre-1965 British upper middle class values.

It doesn't have to be perfect to be enduringly popular.

no, but "it's a timeless story that people only dislike because of identity politics and sour grapes" is still an insanely stupid thing to say
