Likely yes, and I recommend you to let HP die and instead look for some better media.

I cannot recommend the fan fiction book Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkoesky highly enough. If you’re looking for a HP fix but struggle with ‘death of the author’ issues. There’s even a free audiobook podcast!

MoR was the most excruciatingly self-congratulatory thing I have ever had the misfortune to read. I understand that some people like it, and more power to them, I guess, but I found it to be painfully bad.

I overall enjoyed reading it but you're absolutely correct that it was very self-indulgent and smug for waaaaay too much of it.

I can recommend Dimension 20's Misfits and Magic (season 2 just got announced yesterday!) as a much better critique that still brings the joy that people felt with the source material to the table. The cast all says fuck terfs too!

I love the people that are involved with Dimension 20, but I haven't really been able to get into any AP shows in a while. I think I'm just busier than I used to be. I listened to most of Fantasy High S1 and enjoyed a lot of it, but just couldn't really get into the rest of it. I like seeing clips of the different seasons, I'd love it if they could release some kind of edited or abridged version of each of the seasons or something.
