    My kids’ headcanon is that Danny Devito wrote the books and JKR took the credit because she’s that awful.

    (Also, as they become better readers they see how not-very-good the writing actually is.)

      I read the books to my kid, and I distinctly recall thinking “Oh yeah, these are children’s books, this is absolutely terrible writing.” Not even considering the plot or topics or politics or anything: the writing is just not good.
