The Obligatory Harry Potter 7 Thread

You Pothead fans disgust me. I hope thy acting will be better after all that shite. And seriously, this forum doesn´t need a damn Harry Potter fan thread raving for the next decade. Harry Potheads fans, you make me sick.

No wonder why so many people are getting fuckedup in their heads, which reminds me of Christian fanatics with the same fanatism , and your eyes that shines like you are under a drug. That melts your mind slowly away. Not even when I got Exciter MONTHS before it was released, have I had those eyes. Heck when the album, was released. There I bought the tickets to the fucking smashing great concert back in 2001. And damn what a great concert that was.

 

....Sorry but....what?

 

Translation is as follows, I really do not like Harry Potter, and wished it was gone before anything else. But the madness around the 7 books is the worst part. And fanatism/fanboyism is really BAD.

 

Well, I won't stop you from reading the novel. I mean, I really think it's great that Rowling got more people interested in reading, and just reading something in general. That counts high in my figurative book.

Anyhow, I was recently enjoying watching Youtube videos of people performing hit and run spoilers at midnight launches. HP just is something I don't particularly care for. I couldn't get past the first book's first chapter (but that was back in sixth or seventh grade, so things change). Anyhow, keep reading it and enjoying it -- I won't take that away from you no matter how "childish" or "prosaic" some may call it.

 

My Mom LOVES the whole series, but the Harry Potter thing I saw was the first movie and bits and pieces of the other ones.

During high school, there was this really annoying girl who always talked to me about Harry Potter shit, too.

I don't necessarily hate it, but its rabid fanboys get on my nerves, much like fans of Final Fantasy and people who buy any game solely because it has an anime cover and / or Atlus or NIS in the corner.

 

Alright, let's not turn this into a knife-fight. RGGG shared his interest in the series, got some lighthearted sarcastic comments and some not so lighthearted comments. No need to get violent about any of this.

You went from Harry Potter to Depeche Mode. Thanks for giving me a quick laugh, I needed it tonight.

I read all of the books up until the sixth, which I never got started on. The movies bore me to death. After thinking about it, I'm still not sure how the series became so popular when it really plays on a bunch of ideas that have already come and gone. As long as people are actually reading, though, I can't complain too much.

Mm, hot milf at 2:20

 

XD

That's too funny.

I just saw the movie tonight. I haven't seen any of the other movies. And I read the first 3 books back in 4th and 5th grade...

The books just kept getting longer and longer until I was like, "F that! I'm gonna play some videogames!" :icon_bigg

 

Well you got one, too bad......here have a barf bag if your going to be sick:110:....

Indeed, the first book was really nothing more than a magical rebranding of the age old story of Nicholas Famel, though they were never overly inventive, still entertaining none the less, then again, what hasn't borrowed idea's from other places though.

...I'll need her name and number then..........:110:

Indeed, whether you hate the series with a passion or not, you can't deny that it has gotten leigions of people across the globe into reading a good old book in today's world of technology....


:crying:

 

I read some kids book report in 8th grade once and he spelled it Harry Pooter, JK Rowling is a perv, I think she knows all this!

 

Hey Ryan, don't let these hypocrites get you down. We're all into dorky stuff in one way or another.:thumbsup:

I am scared of Harry Potter, simply for the fact that I may actually like it, then I will be compelled to go out and buy everything with Harry's face on it. I'm already hooked on several different fanchises (Star Wars, Godzilla, etc.) I can't afford another one.

 

They invade america at the end.

0_o....I'm not even going to click that......

 

Awesome, thanks

 

I actually made an elaborate alternate ending to the seventh book the other day. It involved terrorists blowing up Hogwarts, and George Bush saving the day*



*enslaving the Hogwarts children

 

I've lost my girlfriend to Harry (fucking - sorry) potter.

The mass hysteria is alarming, thousands of people falling to their knees for a genre and story which has appeared many times before freaks me out; I really can't work out what gets people hooked, I see nothing original or encaptivating in either the books or the films.

Philip Pullman's Northern Lights (Golden Compass for the US) trilogy is a far superior example of providing literary entertainment for both children and adults.

 

What pisses me off the most is that she's blatently cashing in on how slow an author she is.

If I was 10 when the first book came out, I'd be 20 now. I'd expect the book to be a kids book, as I remembered the first. No, it's 3 times as long, 3 times as padded and as a result, 3 times as shit.

Anyone here wanna look me in the eye and say "This book, which is over 700 pages long, has topics of murder and betrayal, uses many mild curses and vocabulary most young people won't learn until High School, is a Children's book". BS. The first was great, a darkish kids book with a good premise and was a good challenge for younguns. After the 3rd or 4th she started cashing in, and now it's not a good Adults book (Boring, repeptitive, stereotypical story, repeated 7 times), or a book kids can read (too long, too confusing, uses big words).

Make up your damn mind JK, and come back when you're not a sell-out. We hate sell-outs in music and film, why do we love them in literacy?
