Michael Bay movies aren't fun to watch because they have airtight plots and intelligent writing. They're fun to watch because there are sparkly things going boom and it looks pretty.

The Harry Potter series is effectively the same thing. A spectacular story that's fun to experience the first time through.

In both cases, if you think too hard about it, the thin veneer giving the appearance of coherence disappears and you're left with a logically inconsistent mess.

It's not going to stop me from watching Independence Day or reading Prisoner of Azkaban again though.
