  • I don't understand the concept of non-Harry Potter nerdfighters.

  • Yeah, my parents just bought two copies and left my eleven-year-old broke self to beg and mope while I waited for one of them to finish so I could read it.

  • Comment removed

  • from Goblet of Fire on, my parents ordered two books: one for myself and one for my brother. there were less fights that way. ^__^

  • Nerdfighters who don't care about Harry Potter?!

  • My ex-boyfriend didn't like Harry Potter. I'm pretty glad he's my ex now, actually.

  • *SPOILER ALERT* Harry Potter7 is released in 2parts

  • awww I think that is true love. I need to find someone who I will love enough to have made me accept sharing HP.

  • harry ptter is so awesome because you can believe it and finish it still wanting more. that's why i stay up till 2:00 in the morning reading it. it's full of misteries and challenges and sadness and happyness and love and magic. plus the villans are actually cool. not just evil. i just love it!!!

  • mac and cheese would be amazing to kiss cause it taste so good!

    but harry potter is such a phenomonon because its magical, but still realistic in a way that people like me dont want to end. they touch the child personality that you can never reach while keeping the sophistcation of it. this series can let anyone escape their life in a good way.

  • @potterismylife110 You should read the "Tiffany Aching" series by Sir Terry Prachett. They're awesome.

  • I would say Magenta, Magenta is a pretty nifty color.

  • purple, i feel like purple'd be a good kisser ;)

  • TARDIS blue, fez red, or GREEN. :)

  • green

  • Tardis blue, or ginger[aka weasley] orange

  • purple or orange

  • Oh, the failure that is question tuesday :p

  • My family always got at least two copies of the books, because otherwise we got in massive arguments.

  • I remember when the 7th book came out. I was first in line outside the store, sprinted inn grabbed the book and was first to the cash readjuster. Now my hole family are harry potter fans, and so to stop anyone from spoiling anything for anyone els we only bought one book which we took turns reading out loud. Wile we read it we were out on our boat and had cut ourselves of from almost all communication, this lasted for three days. It was magical!

  • woot

    

  • Thankfully, no one tried to challenge my right to be the first to read Deathly Hallows on July 21; it would have DEFINITELY gotten ugly.

  • red, he's hot.

  • "We finished, and it was amazing"

    Take that out of context. XD

  • pink, she's cute.

  • @MagicalChester You just have. lol. It's not that I don't like Harry Potter, I just can't get into it.

  • @TheAllyAvery: Interesting. How much have you tried reading? For adults and young intellectuals it's usually recommended you read the first 3 books before calling it quits. The first 3 books are very short and the first two can feel a bit too childish for some people. ;) If you're not into it by the 3rd book you shouldn't bother though.

  • @TheAllyAvery: And if you just can't get into it you can always watch the fan-made musical parody of it anyway. It's called A Very Potter Musical and it's here on youtube (seeing as you're a fan of musicals). It's understandable to those who haven't seen the movies or read the books but it'll give spoilers for the whole series. It's so so funny though. :D

  • oh my god, red orange. I mean are you kidding me? hot.

  • And so question Tuesday was born! (re-watching old VB videos... ah the nostalgia)

  • the title of this video made me think of pottermore. and HOW I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY WELCOME LETTER.

  • if I were a crayon I'd make out with a lime scented crayon or a rootbeer scented one. .-.

  • I would be an orange crayon, and I would definitely like to make out with a red crayon.

  • I would like to invite the nerdfighters into my pants!

  • I would deffinitely make out with a green crayon.

  • If I were a crayon, I would make out with green. No connection, or anything....

  • I remember perfectly when I got that book. I held it in my hands, stared at it, and just marveled at how much awesome I was holding for a good 3 minutes. It was an awesome experience.

  • I believe it's because Harry Potter = the epic of our generation. Sure, we used to have The Odyssey and The Iliad (Classics major, here), but it's *great* that our generation has something of that literary magnitude. I am sad that the book series is over, and that the movie franchise will soon be ceasing as well. However, it will always be nice to get a wave of nostalgia and return back to our favorite characters and fantasy land whenever we want.

  • When you said you and Katherine were sharing the book and reading it together, I seriously was like "awwwwwwww."

    I want a marriage like that one day, Hank.

  • For fear of sounding like Souroman or a horrible racist I would like to be white and make out with any color so that I could become a rainbow of colors.

    "I looked then and saw that his robes, which had seemed white, were not so, but were woven of all colours, and if he moved they shimmered and changed hue so that the eye was bewildered. "

  • I think the reason it's done so well is because the characters are so well written. They're never just what's on the surface. Everything has so much depth that it's quite literally easy to submerge yourself in it and become a part of it.

    As for the crayon question, I say plain old red. While I enjoy purple, if you made out with a purple crayon, it would make it look like you ate a sno-cone. Red would keep them pretty much the same.

  • we got invited into his pants.. x)

  • 'solution to the problem of not caring about harry potter?', 'read harry potter' lol!!! haha its so sweet that the both of you read t together, but it must have taken a really really long time!!

  • That's why my family always bought at least two copies of each book when they were first released. Of course, with 4 of us wanting to read, there was still fighting, but not as much.

    But, 9 AM? You didn't get it until 9 AM? By 9 AM I was several chapters in and trying to convince my mother it wasn't her turn yet.

  • you guys have to see a very potter musical!!! It is extremely well done and very harry potterfull :) i guarantee you will enjoy it.

  • I'm a hp nerd and proud!

  • Cerulean...it's just such a pretty color :)

  • Being married to someone who you could potentially fight over books with sounds pretty incredible to me!

  • AAAH the beginning of question tuesday?

  • Macaroni and cheese (it's a color!)

  • Mother and I bought two copies of the last three books to avoid fighting over them :)

  • Emerald green royal violet tangerine sky blue cerulean

  • Cerulean or teal or pine green or magenta or mint or rose or grey or... oh god I'd be a crayon whore... D:

  • crayola's "Tickle Me Pink"

  • I've read every harry potter book at least 27 times... I need to get a life.

  • @26Staples Naw. I've read them that many times, too.  If you really think about it, they deserve to be read that many times!

  • @JiggyDocious so true!

  • I'd be making out with mauvelous.

  • I just checked my playlist and this video is the last of 86 that I marathoned.

    SUCCESS!!

  • hmm what colour would i want to make out with......what color are you Hank?

  • Around the time you were opening your Harry Potter box, I was finishing the book.

  • @Meredithpm13 Impressive :P I was about 6 chapters in.

  • Yay brothers in a hotel bed intro!!!

  • Orange! Funny story though, my friend asked me this question (or a question similar to this) Before either of us started watching these.

  • White. I feel like the white crayon is the unloved nerd of the crayon box. Nobody ever uses the white crayon.

  • "If you were a crayon which color would you most like to... make out with"

    I just laughed so much from that. Even though I've seen the video before, re-experiencing it was just as amazing as the first time.

  • this was the first vlogbrother vid i ever saw! before i'd even heard of john green's wonderfully amazing books and hank green's wonderfully amazing songs and before i knew what a nerdfighter was!

    oh the nostalgia.

  • The thing that makes Harry Potter so special is that it creates an entire world. While other books will talk about magic and people using wands, they won't make up special wizard candies or beloved wizarding shops. This world allowed grabs a hold of people and they can't let go, thus creating their own world, called the Harry Potter community. The Harry Potter Community has charity events and gatherings and thoughtful discussion on life and death and love. That's what makes Harry Potter so great

  • it's the origin of question Tuesday ^_^

  • Comment removed

  • @LifeBeforeRave it is a forum for nerdfighters

  • green blue...

  • Blue

  • I vote for yellow. :) yellow is quite a happy crayon color.

  • Harry Potter is more than just a book because you can relate to him. No matter what you are going through, Harry will always be there. ♥♥

  • I LOVE HARRY POTTER! :)

  • Harry Potter is such a phenomenon because if the fact that there us a whole world assosiated with these books. My entire family is completely engrossed in the series. Our solution was to buy multiple books though:)

  • Crayon? purple. less than three, Hank. Less than three.

  • i lov harry potter =D, 

  • "I'm going to invite the Nerdfighters into my pants"....what? xD

  • I tried the reading-Harry-Potter cure but unfortunately I still suffer from not-caring-about-Harry-Potter :(....

  • that book was a very important part of the summer of 2007 for me. i borrowed it from my friend and read it all within a time span of..... 3 days? ish. whats odd is i was staying in NY with my grandfolks reading it till 5 A FREAKING M. then i woke up at 8 the next morning and read more, feeling completely energetic and amazing. great book. then i returned home to find my folks had bought it for me while i was in NY XD

    is there a lime green crayon? i could dig that shtuff.

  • I think that "Razzle Dazzle Rose" would would be the best to make out with. But in a slutty, you feel embarrassed when you see a picture of you two going at it on your friend's cell phone later that week.

    "Fern" seems like the kind of crayon I could settle down with.

  • the day i got my copy, the UPS guy got to my house at like 1 PM so i was sad =P

  • Dammit! My computer posted that before i finished typing it. Here's the continuation-- finally run out of comebacks and responses to their crap and i need help from my fellow nerdfighters!!! So... Help? (thanks :D) <3

  • Hey Nerdfighters, i need advice! I'd put this in My Pants but forums scare me (yeah i know) but half my clothes and all my jackets are harry potter (i'm 14/an eighth grader) and all the decepticons at my school keep making fun of me for it. Not that this is a first or anything- i take weird as a compliment and normal as an insult- but i've

  • ...not that it matters, but I rated it (5 stars) the thousandth time.

    I did the same "stare at book in awe" thing before I read it

    and I am a forest green colored pencil, not a crayon ;P .

  • I'd probably make out with white...no one likes him. He's probably lonely. He's like the nerdfighter of the crayon world!

  • I think purple or green...or I'd be a slutty crayon and make out with both.

  • If I was a crayon I'd be the green crayon and I'd most want to make out with the purple crayon.

  • if i were a crayon, i would be a blendy pen thingy of black and purple.......i would make out with forrest green. i would do naughty stuff with forrest green. lol

  • sparkly purple.

  • @Bazookab00

    i totaly agree! maybe i would be blue and the dude crayon would be red, but for totaly the same reasons! =]

  • A nice light brown perhaps? Then again, brown is never as nice a crayon as it is a hair or eye color. Hmm, maybe I'll go the colored-pencil route...

  • People who read Harry Potter are pure awesome :)

  • @slinkiesandpie22 agreed.

  • dear nerdfighters who don't like harry potter...

    due to insomnia i am watching your back catalogue, this is why i subscribed to you all that time ago. READ HARRY POTTER haha, dftba xxx

  • I would probably make out with a purple. Probably Purple Mountain's Majesty.

  • I would make out with"mauvelous." It was a legit colour when i was seven. And it was always the first of the 64 worn down.

  • same! i had to share my HP #7 book w/ my sister.

    we had a total fight about it :)

  • green :)

  • i would be red, then make out with a blue because then we would make purple!!

  • It's not that I don't care about harry potter...I'm not aloud to read it...

  • If I were a crayon I would make out with Magenta, Magenta is a babe.

  • the deathly hallows best book ive ever read

    ive only finished today im so sad its finished D';

  • mmm...Probably Green.

    mostly because weirdly all my favorite things are Green. My favorite color, my favorite band (Green Day), my favorite vloggers. and yet none of them are because of the other. It just happened to work out that way. so Green.

  • I don't think there are nerdfighters who don't care about harry potter. Just not possible :D

  • arggghhh damn it hank i can't get your freakinh HARRY POTTER song out of my head

  • I'd pick all of the colors :D , it's more fun.

  • One of those cool rainbow color crayons that change colors when you write with them. YAy

  • Um I would like to make out with the color lime green

    I dunno green is a nice color

  • well its because harry potter is made of awesome...thats all that it needs to be

  • Blue

  • WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT YOU SPOILED PART OF THE BOOK? or did you not notice?

    hmm....

  • it cant be a spoiler, it was released before the book.

  • i KNOW.

    but i mean, he read it now. and he should've said that his song was sorta a spoiler.

    sure it was an accident, but come on.

    :D

  • ORANGE

  • YELLOW!

  • Why would you make out with a color(YafaiGirl)

  • Harry Potter is like, half or three-quarters of my life. I think about Harry Potter more than I think about myself.

    It's awesome because it just IS!

    And I would make out with red!

  • You shouldn't apologize for talking about the gift to the world that is Harry Potter!

    Harry Potter is completely amazing.

    It's EPIC and FANTASTIC.

    ...Okay. :]

  • This was the original Question Tuesday?

    Hank, you're cool and all but John sortof owned you with the his Question Tuesday idea.

  • I would make out with purple pizazz.

  • This makes me want to read my HP books all over again...

  • Harry Potter owns

    I would make out with purple.

  • When you asked the question, the color orange inexplicably sprang into my head, so that's my answer. I don't why, but I've been thinking about it and orange is very definitely the color I'd make out with.

  • I'd make out with red. :D

  • i would make out with yellow-green. because i believe if the crayon box was a school, yellow-green would most likely be the nerd. since i am a nerdfighter, i would make out with said nerd.

  • now everytime i see you after the goth video i can't not imagine you without black lipstick and eyeliner.

  • Hmm is this the beginning of the beloved yet often wrongly-titled Question Tuesday? I DO BELIEVE IT IS.

  • dark green , silver, or black

  • if i was a crayon i would probably make our with red ... or maybe black.

    wow, that was probably the greatest question i've ever been asked.

    ;D

  • Turquoise, definitely.

  • The difference is, J.K. Rowling didn't just have an idea, like most fantasy novels for kids, but she is a good author. And made you really really attached to the characters, and made it necessary to find out how it all ended.

    Harry Potter is amazing, and I look forward to re-reading the entire series, over, and over again. :)

  • You know, I really was going to answer the crayon question. But the idea of me making out with a crayon was just too odd

  • I LOVE HARRY POTTER  YAY!!!!!

  • I would probably make out with a very bright blue, or a very dark green. I'm not sure.

  • Oh man, that's a hard one . . . if I were a crayon, I would be shocking pink, and i would most like to make out with the neon orange, probably.

    Don't ask why. Some things are better left unexplained.

  • I got my copy of this book at 4 in the afternoon. I was not happy!! I finished it 13 hours later at 5 in the morning.

  • I think that you and Katherine reading it together WAS sweet. My boyfriend just avoided me for the 19 hours that it took me so as not to get smacked for interrupting me :)

  • Maroon!

  • blue

  • Tickle Me Pink. Always like the name.

  • Probably yellow.

    I take what I can.

  • hm.. I think I would like to make out with the green crayon... I like green >.>

  • the letter made me laugh so hard. wow.

  • T___T I really need to read the HP books

  • ...this is true.

  • You really should. Its better than the movie.

  • yep

  • i waited for over 1 and a half hours in a line in the bookshop to pick up my preordered harry potter book

    i love it so much!!!

  • i would make out with black

    because its sexy

    and the same color as the jonas brothers' hair

    :D

  • lol "There's a solution... read Harry Potter and then you won't find it annoying when I talk about it" I should tell that to my friends. :)

  • 1. Harry Potter is such a gigantic phenomena because, well, it's HARRY POTTER! I just started reading the series again yesterday. For the third time. Which obvioulsy doesn't seem like that many times, because, well, it's not. But still. And 2. I'd make out with the color green if I was a crayon.

  • Harry Potter.. well, to point out the obvious, it's magic. I think that the reason it's so amazing is that people can relate to it- the younger kids to the first books, and adults and teenagers can really read any part of the series and be like, YES! Amazing! And then, by the time the little kids have read the first books, the next ones are out and they're old enough to relate to those. And every character feels so real, you know who they are and they feel like friends by the time you're done.

  • Purple. PurplePurplePurple!!!

  • I would make out with Violet. Violet is hot!

  • i would make out with tickle-me-pink.

  • If I were a crayon, I would make out with green. Duh.

  • I would make out with the color...

    White.

  • the reason Harry Potter is a phenomenon (it took me wayyy too long to spell that word) anyway the reason is that it was such an easy to read easy to relate to

    ESCAPE FROM REALITY

    (bohemian rhapsody is playing in my head now) Seriously. When i read HP i leave this world and become completely imersed in HP's magical world.

    Also if i was a crayon would make out with the red crayon cause red is the color you wear when you want to look sexy.

  • Because J.K. Rowling sprinkled a magic dust on every page of every copy of the book. Making us enjoy it a lot more.

    lol

    I think it's huge because of the fact that, yes, it is a kids book. But no other kids book were so relatable, and involving, and just overall fantastic. Although I've heard good things about Artemis Fowl.

  • Purple. Or maybe Black. But... it's hard to say about Harry Potter. I think it's because of its fandom, which I'm proud to be a part of.

  • haha yeah me and my brother had to buy two copies. but you should have gone to a release party, not gotten it in the mail. golly.

  • Join the Club!

  • Harry potter color.

    no make that robert pattinson color.

  • lol uhm

    well this is sort of late, but if i were a crayon, the color i would make out with would be maroon.

    O_O

  • HARRRRRYYY POOOOTTTERRR!!!!

    I have TWO sets of ALL SEVEN BOOKS. One paperback one hardcover.

    BEAT THAT. OOOOH!

    ^_^ NERDFIGHTERS!

  • I don't like Harry Potter...but that is okay because all of my friends love the books...so I'm use to hearing about it all the time....

  • TALK MORE ABOUT HARRY POTTER!
