I feel like the story would've been a lot more interesting if it was told from, say, Hermione's perspective instead of Harry's. Ron grew up immersed in the wizarding world, and Harry grew up in a muggle hellhole so the wizarding world seems like Disneyland by comparison, but Hermione grew up in the muggle world and had loving parents and a normal childhood, so she seems like the best character to give the perspective that the wizarding world is just as messed up as the muggle world, if not more.

And it's not just because of Harry's PoV that we see all Slytherins being evil douchebags- if I remember right, we don't really get a student protagonist who isn't a Gryffindor until Luna joins the team in book 5 of a 7-book series. More than half of the series is told exclusively from the perspective of the house whose rivalry with Slytherin is as big and old as Hogwarts itself.

eh, I don't think it would necessarily be more *interesting* from Hermione's perspective, but it would certainly be more balanced. The most "magical" part of the series is, though, the wish-fulfillment-fantasy of a lonely/disliked boy suddenly being rich, popular, and powerful.

That always seemed the weakest part of it to me. It is so cliche and overdone. Even for the 90s, lonely kid gets to be superhero was played to death and entirely mockable.

Harry was the chosen one, yeah, but Hermione was the one who chose to rise up on her own. Her story is much more powerful.

I would have liked that too, but I get the feeling we are in the minority, anon

I would've loved to read the books from Hermione's POV.

Oh god I had no idea how much I wanted HP from Hermione's perspective until now.
