Libraries benefited greatly from HP. No, it's not LOTR--I'd say more like the OZ books, but if a saga grips children it did establish a love of reading in that generation of children.
So, SO much to say on this one, but I don't have time at the moment. But I can't leave this one alone:
"I mostly wish this didn’t remind me so much of myself, but we can talk about my fatherhood fears some other day."
Trust me, Eddy... Those fears are unfounded. The things to be scared of, you can't predict. But don't let your past create a fear of what's coming. Those similarities you're seeing are only shadows.
They are, but they're also not the real thing. They're only two-dimensional representations of what you're worried about, and they'll have little impact on your kids' lives. Plus, you're already equipped to deal with those problems because you understand them. It's the stuff you don't see coming that really gets you!
The company employs 10,000 people, and it has offices all over the world. But its unusual headquarters is in Verona, a city with 13,000 people that’s just west of Madison. The company’s Wizard’s Academy will make you think you’ve landed in a J. K. Rowling novel.
I think perhaps you might be mistaking a diminishingly small but hysterically loud faction for the word "all" here: "burning down all the goodwill and admiration she’d spent the previous 20 years courting online."

I was feeling wizardly while writing this

Shadows are scary!
