Serious question: I somehow missed out on the whole Harry Potter craze (probably because I was in the Navy and gone nine out of every twelve months on average). The movies aren't on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Are they worth renting on Google Play for like $35 to watch the whole series (in HD)?

Will they make me a better person or help me understand Trump?

lotta people itt seem weirdly hostile about harry potter but they are pretty good stories with well written characters and lots of good world building. the movies are not as good as the books but they are quite good imho.

They're fine in that they are pretty close to the books, but far shorter than the later books, and time is the only currency that matters, so books are a dead medium, intended only for the poor and hopeless or the ultra rich. If you are neither of those, do not read books.

Take up bicycling instead. I did that this year instead of sitting on my rear end watching movies or TV and I've been happy with the results.

imo a harry potter prequel set during WWII with like, wizards fighting and like flying spitfires in the battle of briton vs evil german wizards would actually be pretty cool
