I mean, this is just false though. They're incredibly engaging, well-written, and quite funny to boot (except maybe the Silver Chair and the Last Battle). I can't wait for my kid to be old enough to read them for the first time.

Yeah this is kind of like defending all the "great Harry Potter art" despite Rowling being deserving of 6ft of dirt.

Just because it has inspired great things doesn't make it worthy of continued existence.
