My wife really loved it. I saw the first movie with her and did not care for it. Then when my daughter was little, she had me start reading the first book to her. I thought it was really boring and my daughter must have too, because she lost interest after a few chapters. I’m not super into magical fantasy anyway, so it isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but my dad got a scholarship to a real prestigious English school which would be, I suppose, the “muggle” version of Hogwarts, and as the poor (and Jewish) kid, he got treated like utter shit by both students and teachers pretty much the whole time, so it’s what was on my mind the entire time I watched the movie and read the book. That didn’t help.
