JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

books to get for the middle grade readers in your life that have similar vibes but are NOT Harry Potter (and are in fact better)

✨You’ve met me at a very time time of my life ✨

You’re never too old to enjoy a good ol’ children’s fantasy book. My #1 move is to read children’s fantasy when in a reading slump 🫶 (Many of these are a series, I only list the first in each series)

All of the books in this list were either read when I was a kid, or gave that comforting nostalgic feeling when reading it as an adult.

Aren’t you glad that we’re never too old for a whimsical read?
