I thought it was Harry Potter done right. Very right. The characters are youths with much more suitably fucked up emotions, drives, hormones, carelessness, not to mention lack of project etc. The magic is steeped in mystery and research and dangers - it's a young, nowhere near fully understood field. The school (mostly) fits all that. By contrast Harry Potter is entirely too focused on making the books alternately fun and gloomy, with a simpler and wider-audience magic. Entertaining but empty.
