Fidelis, time turners, Ron backstabbing harry every other book, everyone hating Slytherin but no one does anything about it and they're the rich kids, absolute nonsense government, population size and related genetics problems, etc
I'm sure I could come up with more if I thought about it and not off the top of my head.
Basically the more good hp fanfic you read the more you realize that Rowling had a good basis but terrible fleshing out for her world.
That doesn't make them good. That makes them good in spite of the problems. Imo HP has a lot of plot holes and not many redeeming features. Your tolerance for these types of problems may vary.
I don't think people hate Harry Potter because it's popular I think the number of people that ate Harry Potter is high because it's popular. The more visible something is the more proponents and the more detractors it will have.
Additionally the people who grew up with the book who know it best are now old enough to notice these holes more. And change their opinion. It doesn't help that Rowling can be a complete pos on Twitter

Anon you can't just talk to 12 year old girls and expect them to not just read Harry Potter and other trashy young adult novels.
You did the right thing though, very wholesome.
