Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres and the Shadows of Death

I think the moment where I decided to stop reading is when Harry gives a speech about how muggles and purebloods (and eventually extra terrestrial beings) will one day only be judged by their minds and "not their color or their shape or the stuff they're made of" that literally starts with "I have a dream". It was too much.

That was the tipping point for me for a series that has some interesting and fun ideas, but is often more on the side of "I'm 14 And This Is Deep" for me. I also think I had maybe some unfair expectations of this being an alternate dimension sort of premise that stems from the singular fact of Harry's upbringing being different, whereas it is more broadly different across a lot of characters, which feels a bit random often and doesn't really work for me most of the time? I don't know a lot of deep Harry Potter lore either, so I think there are a good number of references here as well that are lost on me.

Glad I gave this a shot, but it's not for me. I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.
