I always thought that Potter was a mediocre, overrated, arrogant boy. It is reassuring to know I am not the only one who sees this.

Hate would be a strong word. But i'm not into it. Seen about 3 of the movies, read maybe 1 and a half of the books. Not my thing.

YES I hate it and the fact that u can’t walk into a shop without seeing some dumb merch. And yes the fan base can be very annoying. One time I dared to say that I didn’t care about Harry Potter and a girl in my seminar started yelling at me, looooool. It’s not even that good of a movie/ book.

JK Rowling - ‘Dumbledore is Bi!! Everyone like me!! I have an LGBT character in my book!!’
JK Rowling - *refuses to acknowledge the fact that “Dumbledore is bi” in writing or movies or f*cking stage play*

I read the first one in about 1998, when I was 12 or so. I didn't really like it but I didn't really dislike it either. I had been reading 'adult' books for years by then so I thought it was a bit simplistic but it didn't offend me.

They are the books that got my brother to stop dicking about and start reading properly though (he was a difficult child), so I am grateful to them for that.

I don't hate it because I belong to the 0.0000000000000001% of the population who's never seen/read any of the HP books or films.

Blasphemy!

haha I'm a Harry Potter nut and I think the first four books were poorly written. If you want to get into them I suggest reading the last two first! I found it a much more enjoyable experience to go backwards (let's face it, we all know what happens anyway).

It's the same with Beyonce. I don't think she's all that but people call me crazy if I express that I'm not a fan of her music. I think people go on the attack when someone tries to find a fault in their baby. Too many things are rubbish in this world so if something brings a person happiness or joy they're very quick to push out any negativity.

I think JK's behaviour as of late has been extremely problematic also which has made me lose interest in any up and coming Fantastic Beasts stuff.

hate is too strong a word. I don't get why people said that if it gets children reading then it must be a good thing - surely it depends on what they are reading. hp books are just fun really, they are only educational for 5 yr olds who are still learning their ABCs.

I've never read it or seen it. It doesn't seem like something that would interest me tbh.

I think the harry potter books have mostly been tainted through my dislike of JK Rowling. Her twitter presence is awful and I HATE how she keeps trying to keep HP relevant by linking it to other issues.

Remember how she said the werewolves in the books represented AIDS *sighs*
