Anal in general is pretty gross. Like I get it if you're gay because that's essentially the only option, but it's like a whole other level of sexual retardation to want to fuck a girl's ass whenever they have a beatiful, clean, self-lubricating option. And it's seemed to be so normalized thanks to porn.
Sorry I was just using crass language. I didn't think that's what you meant.
I just think it's cool if kid's content is of a high enough quality that it can still be enjoyed by intelligent adults as they grow up. That's never really the case with subpar writing just because creators can get away with it due to their transient audience.
I'll stop there, because I don't want to turn this into a Harry Potter blog, but the point I'm trying to make is, you're holding the books up to standards that they never aimed to hit. They're kid's books. There's a Gary Stu? So what?
I don't really agree that things targeted towards kids can simply go without good writing just because kids are dumbasses. It can have both, so why not? The only valid answer to that question, imo, is that why would you bother if low-effort shit makes the same if not more money?
And there are plenty of instances of good child-targeted media that adults like too. Ren and Stimpy is still venerated. I venerate Ed Edd n Eddy in a similar way. It's kid's content, but it's still legitimately good (sorry to bring up cartoons when we're talking about movies but I can't think of any good kids movies at the moment).
Also a good indicator of why Harry James is a Gary Stu, and a boring one at that. Everything just kind of works out for him without him needing to be exceptional himself (other than his innate attributes like the fame he gained as an infant and his second-life against Voldy).
Oh no! The flag orientation is wrong!
Still though pretty good.
