@jk28416 Can you please explain your Tolkien comment? I can't tell if it's praise or insult.
-
@ProtestantsRUs Says the guy who misspells embarrass, starts a sentence with 'And' and still believes in an imaginary friend who lives in the sky. Oh the irony...
-
@Kaos77Kisame Relax, I prefer Harry Potter. I don't care if they are different mediums of entertainment. I'd rather watch or read HP than watch/listen to Stewart Lee.
-
Hahaha, hilarious. Harry Potter is shit. And adults who read it embaress themselves.
-
I Hate This Man So Much ...
-
@JhericFury I see. I misunderstood.
-
@ActaNonVerba71 I know, i was agreeing with you that the books are offensive from a 'leading older women to drool over teenage boys' POV. But also from a 'treating females like submissive wimps only useful as damsels in distress' POV.
i.e. Universaly creepy
-
@JhericFury That made zero sense. The only books that I brought up were the Twilight books because the over 30+ creeper females drooling over high school characters and young actors makes my skin crawl.
-
@ActaNonVerba71 So essentially this book is offensive to everyone :)

@paulski1966 Reading HP as an adult makes you look like a twat.
I don't know why but 'harry potter and the forest of embarrassment' just sets me off everytime

@jk28416 We don't agree that she cannot write, even by your own admission the books are highly enjoyable, and whilst not an accurate measure of quality, popularity and critical praise cannot be totally ignored. And again no one is saying that reading should be "mastorbatory" but equally it shouldn't be without enjoyment. For someone who claims to be so well read I find your approach to literature incredibly narrow minded, a claim, ironically, you seem intent to attach to anyone who has read HP.
