The Marauders generation was actually sick at magic
I am re-reading the Half-Blood Prince and I am in awe of how many spells and ideas Snape was able to come up with while he was in his student years - usefuls spells such as Muffliato, funny ones such as Levicorpus, powerful such as Sectumsempra, all the potions stuff... But other wizards of his generation were no less skillful, and I am talking about Marauders. Not only they learned by themselves how to become Animagi (is that the correct plural?), they created the Marauders' map, which seems too scary to exist - it actually shows everyone's realtime location on a piece of paper, and you can even use it anywhere in the world? How is that even possible and what does it mean for privacy of wizards in general? Could you extend that idea to maps of cities, countries, or the whole world?
Compared to these guys, the Harry Potter's generation looks pretty incompetent. To think of some magical feats that could be classified as top-tier, in the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione comes up with the coins that show the next time when the meeting of the Dumbledore's Army will take place - that's pretty cool, but nowhere near turning-into-animals cool or I-see-your-location cool. Also when Harry takes OWL exams, the ministry person asks him to perform Patronus and is impressed when he achieves it, suggesting Harry is a talented wizard. Sure, Patronus is nice, but would Harry be capable of inventing a new spell? I don't think so.
To give some credit, Harry's generation (and Harry specifically) show great skill when facing Death Eaters and Voldermort, but their magical inventiveness was nowhere near the level of the generation before them.

Snape found out that a student considered him their worst fear. His response? He bullied them harder.

Anyone else wait years to hear “Not my daughter, you b*tch!”… and then feel kinda let down? 😂
That line lived rent-free in my head since the first time I read it — I was ready for full-blown mom rage and chaos.
Then the movie came out and… idk, it just didn’t hit the way I pictured it in my head 😩
Maybe it was all the chaos happening in that final battle, but the moment just felt *smaller* than it should’ve.
Still iconic, still love Molly forever — but book-Molly’s energy felt way more feral.
Did any other moments in the movies not live up to how you imagined them?

I just read Cursed Child.
Things I liked.:-
First of all, Harry being a parent is just amazing. It shows his problems and his insecurities.
Then, we get everyone's POV, that is something we didn't get in the other books. We only got Harry's views in the other books.
I really understand Albus' feelings and could see that he really had a huge reputation to live up to
Scorpious Malfoy's lore is immaculate. He is a child of a single parent and he also faces rumours about being You-Know-Who's son just widen the story.
I liked the views about different dimensions where different things occured.
Things I hated:
A freaking multiverse? What is this the Avengers? Confusing us with different timelines is shit.
Voldemort and Bellatrix- eww
Just adding a character called Craig Bowker Jr to just kill him is ridikulus.
It just feels like a fanfiction.
The Tonks-ified Hermione in the Voldemort-won world.
Ginny still has no personality,
No mention of Sirius, Teddy, Victoire, Lupin. Man those were the core characters.
The book was too short.
This is all I have to say. Plese feel free to argue in the comments. I will argue with you. Please add more things you feel like to add.

The HBO Series is NOT a Reboot of the fimlm...It's another Adaptation!
Some of the biggest content creators on youtube are spouting the same garbage I'd expect from Rita Skeeter. Why are they remaking the films? They're making Hagrid wear the same costume, what's the point?!
No.
This is like seeing a stage-play, based on a book, and complaining it somehow retroactivley ruined films also based on that book.
The fact this series is also going to be viewed on screen is irrelivant to the discussion. Harry Potter is NOT a FILM-Franchise, it isn't Star Wars. It started with and will always circle back to the fact it's a book series.
Edit:
OK, responding to comments, yes HP released 8 amazing films and they hold up as a film Franchise by their own own right. But that doesn't change the fact this isn't about them. This isn't a new series based on the filmverse, at all. It's about the bloody books!
It's not 1 or the other ya know, both on-screen adaptations can co-exist in their seperate sandboxes.
Even though each version has its own canon, each one also brings something into the ether. For example Lily's flower-fish spell. Not from the book,s exclusively from the films, but as far as most are concerned its a very Lily Evans thing to do. So now, for most, it's part of the lore. Who knows what other wonderful concepts will float to the surface.

Rereading PoA and I’m very impressed with Ron
Just finished the part where Harry gets caught by Malfoy in Hogsmeade and as he’s getting interrogated by Snape in his office, Ron bursts in and claims he gave Harry the Zonko’s products that he was holding ages ago. Just now realizing this means that Ron (during his sprint back to Hogwarts) correctly deduced that 1. Malfoy would go straight to Snape, so Snape’s office would be the likeliest place to find Harry, and 2. Harry would need an explanation for why he had a pocketful of products from Zonko’s
