Harry Who?

This morning I picked up an old Muse magazine and flipped through it. To my annoyance, one of the articles was raving about how "fantastic" (note the sarcastic quotation marks) Harry Potter is. Why does everyone love HP so much? I don't get it. The books are really boring and the plots use one consistent "Harry format". You ask how J.K. Rowling came up with her "masterpeices". I ask how they got published. And in the 7th book (unfortunately I read most of them), why does he die and come back to life? Stuuuupid. HP fanatics, move on. Please.
