> The writing was dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character stretched his legs’. I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling’s mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Legs.. easy on the stretching
Was he right?

Where the fuck did Bloom get that from? The most commonly accepted best Harry Potter books are 3, 4, or 7. I literally never hear people say the first one was the best one.

I never actually read Harry Potter but wasn't this found to be a flat out lie? That "stretched his legs" showed up maybe once in the book?

I think it was over emphasized, also it wasn't the first book he read.

7???
7???????
It's 3,4 or 6.
7 was a mistake, especially the epilogue.
