If this book were an essay, it would be titled "Harry Potter was So Important To Me, but In Retrospect it Had Some Issues."
Luckily, it is not an essay, and instead is an enjoyable story!

Read this in about a week. Page turner, but I could have liked it more than I did. It felt (obviously intentionally) like a small slice of a much larger story, and I'm not sure I liked that bit. Worth reading though.
