I actually like the idea and the story, the premise has real potential. But the writing style wears me down. It’s not just that it’s being used a lot; it’s that this particular style is used for everything.
Every paragraph feels like it’s reaching for cinematic grandeur. Every sentence wants to be the trailer shot. At first it’s arresting, the rhythm, the momentum, the weight behind every line. But after a while, it becomes exhausting. When everything feels momentous, nothing actually does.
Beyond that, this style doesn’t really fit the tone of the Harry Potter universe. The original books balance wonder with wit and quiet emotion; this feels like it’s trying to turn every walk down Diagon Alley into a prophecy.
At first it’s striking, but when every scene reads like this, the story starts to lose its texture. You stop feeling awe and start feeling fatigue.
