If you’ve enjoyed Harry Potter, what is the most common criticism you’ve heard about it? The famous, “It’s cliché”. Isn’t it?

Personally? I would argue that cliché isn’t always a bad thing. Sure, there are certain films that would have been more enjoyable if they weren’t riddled with cliché. But Harry Potter? It’s not one of them. Now, allow me to explain.

Imagine after a long week of work, you finally arrive home on a Friday night, utterly drained from the daily tasks. You’re in the mood for a film, but the thought of anything too complex feels overwhelming. Many folks end up re-watching their favorite TV shows, opting for the comfort of the familiar.

But what if I told you there’s a film that offers a very relaxing atmosphere and an easygoing storyline, filled with just the right amount of clichés to make the story predictable? It’s the kind of film you can lose yourself in without a second thought. Sounds appealing, amirite? That’s exactly how I feel about Harry Potter—it’s the perfect escape for those cozy nights when all you need is a little magic to unwind. And besides, when you’re a kid, cliché isn’t really a cliché, isn’t it?
