Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.0

I loved this series as a kid, like so many others. But rereading it as an adult it's hard to get past the rampant fatphobia, antisemitism, the gross way Ron treats Hermione, etc. JK Rowling has proven herself to be a transphobic bigoted person, and you can see so many signs of her internalized oppressive narratives in these books.
