I don't like to call a lot of "science fiction" these days "science fiction" at all. There may be a sliding scale of the "hardness" of science fiction, but I demand a certain degree of hardness to be worthy of the name. Otherwise it's just fantasy in space. Which is absolutely fine, I'm into that, but it's not "science fiction" to me.
As it is, there would only need to be one chapter in Harry Potter in which Dumbledore apparates onto the International Space Station to battle Voldemort and it would be a sci-fi series forever more.
