Reception section not grasping mood   Harry Potter has been extremely well received but there is an odd emphasis on negative criticism rather than positive criticism in the reception section The three subsections all have a negative focus In fact if the series wasnt well known then it would be assumed from reading this page that the books were poorly received and little appreciated and thats not the case  Why are the sources so selective Even generally positive reviews have only had negative comments quoted from them leading to the impression that the series was critically panned This section doesnt indicate almost any positive reviews about the books and places too much focus on negativity
