Me too! The books have plenty wrong with them, but the magical quality that made tens of millions of people fall in love with the story when it was being published is still there, and for me that's easily enough to make the series an enduring and loveable pop-cultural classic.

HP is also a really perfect source text for being fannish about, which is a huge component of my enduring love, for sure. The world of the story is expansive and lively but also loose and messy (and yes, flawed) in a way that makes it incredibly inviting to play around with, and something similar can be said about the characters. They're clear and identifiable to the point of being iconic, while at the same time they're written in a way that is simple enough and flawed enough to make exploring them further through fanworks really rewarding and engaging.

I would say my love for canon is more of a passive, fond love. Whereas the story and the characters as they exist through the lens of fandom is where all of my active, engaged enthusiasm lies now.
