      I mean, the prose is certainly better. Rowling is unimaginative and repetitive in her use of language. The number of times she reuses phrases (like, “Ron’s untidy scrawl,”) is criminal. She’s a lot like Agatha Christie; great concepts, mundane execution.

      HP has the better film franchise though. ASOUE just had the Carrey film, which was alright but did not follow the books and left a LOT of mystery from the books off

      the show was really good…until season 3. my favorite character being reduced to a single laugh and a painting was the nail in the coffin, and the finale was just bad
