I get that from all 3 LOTR movies, and nothing hits me quite the same. I still get it every time I watch them. Nothing else hits me that hard, even Star Wars.

Part of it is the, you know, ineluctable and irrevocable passage of time which winds on relentlessly, yeah. But part of it is also that LOTR is really good. And most things aren't that good.

Personally, I feel like I'm still pretty receptive to sense of wonder. It's just gotten harder to find.

I get that from books I read as a kid, notably early Harry Potter - reading the 5th book onwards as a teenage just didn't have the same magic I felt reading the first book as a 10 year old

Fuck off, Terf.

DA you're not helping

Spontaneously bringing up Harry Potter is a well known anti-trans dogwhistle at this point. It is a reasonable inference. If the OP doesn't know that bringing up Potter stuff is a dogwhistle, they do now and need to adjust their conversation in the future accordingly. And you also know now.

Do you think you're doing something?

People really need to ignore the terf troll. They're just looking for attention.

That's a change in the books themselves, though. The tone of the books changes a lot over the course of the series.

I get the impression that that was about the story more than about the age of the readers. I got into Harry Potter between books 4 and 5, and was struck at how much books 5-7 narrowed the possibilities of the world. While the early ones had been all about new opportunities opening up, a lot of the later additions were more like Harry had just exchanged one bureaucratically-minded reality for another. Not quite "we have career fairs for wizards," but pretty close.

Moody was a personality. He managed to lend a certain mystique to the idea of being an Auror in book 4. But Harry actually going and doing that was more like ... he just became the next occupant of the office of the chief of police.

We get it, you hate trans people and want a safe way to make them feel unwelcome. Now please stop.

AYRT

The hell? I responded to a commenter that got insulted for no reason that I could see. Whatever your problem is, please cut out the random attacks.

Saying "HP books 1-4 were more fun than books 5-7" is not a comment on trans people. It's a fandom opinion on fandom secrets.
