LOL! I agree. It was interesting, but I while reading it and the sequels I was left wondering why it became such a hit.
I loved Harry Potter, and I'm nowhere near teenage years so I don't think age has anything to do with it. However, I will agree that Harry himself was pretty mediocre. He never would have been so successful in his endeavors if it weren't for his friends, circumstance, and luck.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell...one of my all-time favorites. It's very meandering, and there's little action, so I certainly don't blame anyone who found it boring.
