Hogwarts was well thought out and imaginative. The setting was practically a character in its own right.

But Harry Potter himself was unbelievably bland. He was nothing special, but was treated as if he were because of who he was related to or otherwise connected to.

Harry is bland because he’s the reader stand-in in the wonderful world of magic.
