What did you think of the Harry Potter phenomenon at the time of its appearance?

Not much; I haven’t read any of the books and I haven’t seen any of the movies all the way through that I remember. I will say a “school for teaching magic” could only exist in the realm of fiction, because “magic” - such as it is portrayed therein - is purely fictional. “Magic” in reality, from geomancy and dousing to augeries and translating “angelic” languages is very boring by comparison to its portrayal in novels like “Harry Potter” let alone “Moonchild.”
