Agreed, and that reminds me that what I see of something like HP - and Star Wars for that matter - is that people are really used to going to one extreme or the other without hanging out in the middle nuance area. If you feel like you have to defend it, you keep ratcheting up your description of how "good" the writing is because obviously no one with taste can object to good writing. If you feel like you have to campaign for the opposite, you have to make it out to be the worst writing ever because obviously no one with taste would be caught dead reading bad writing. It's only when fandom gets out of its need to use some sort of quality metric to either justify or decry people liking/disliking the thing that we can have real conversations about it.

Star Wars is the same. It's not masterpiece cinema, but it's also not Manos The Hands of Fate. ESB fanboys looking down on anyone who liked ROTJ is a tale as old as I am, when it has nothing to do with objective moviemaking quality but subjective enjoyment of the presentation of the story as a whole. Take quality out of the picture and now we can talk about what was fun, what's quotable, what parts you skip on a rewatch, etc.
