Comment on Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell

  Not any more than your average school kid I’d say. There are many subjects that are or can be interesting that are thought in schools. Doesn’t mean you have to live doing homework on them. One thing is doing something because you enjoy it - another is doing something because you are told so.

  There are also other subjects not related to practicing magic directly. And the homework is usually essays too

    Yeah, book 3 is the one where Rowling made an effort to delve into the workings of the magic system. The Patronus is the only spell we actually learn how to cast. (No, levio-sah doesn’t count). The time turner has limitations which allow Rowling to tell an interesting story with it.

    Rowling made magic interesting for one book, and Harry became interested in magic.

    Then she changed her mind.
