Cardiovorax posted:This kind of criticism always makes me think of people who complain that Pokedex entries don't make sense. It seems like a lot of adult fans of the books kind of seem to forget that this is a series of books written for children ages ten and up, not grown men who want "depth" and "complexity" in their fairy tale story. Harry Potter magic runs on whatever seemed cool or wondrous at the time because that's what works for children. You can't rewrite the story to make sense under a "hard" Sanderson-style magic system and have it still work, because it wasn't supposed to be that kind of story. this kind of scolding is something that has never really made sense to me. hpmor is a particularly clumsy and bad attempt at "grounding" a fictional story, but that doesn't mean the entire genre is misguided. the goal is not to "have it still work" in the sense of retaining exactly the same plot beats, themes, and setting details, but more "realistic" - generally these kinds of stories end up spiraling away into something very different from their source material because the more "realistic" setting demands that things happen differently. this can be handled well (rarely) or poorly (usually) but it's not an invalid idea for a story
