It was new and exciting, and includes the only midnight release for A BOOK that I think I'll ever see. It was also central to the explosion of fan fiction, teaching an entire generation how to communicate through fiction. I get that the story was important and meaningful to many of them.
JKR is awful, toxic, and every goddamn time she opens her Twitter account, there is a world wide retching. Her stories are problematic, and I hear that the newer ones are much more obviously so.
In conclusion, all work should enter the public domain after 20 years. The good parts can be remembered fondly, and the bad parts can be yeeted.
