Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Does anyone else besides me hate Harry Potter?
I'm pretty sure that throughout the books, there's this mean guy, Volde-something. Dude was a total fun-kill. Anyway, he really hated Harry.

That's not off-topic. He hated Harry Potter too, not just you.
Oh gosh, nevermind, that joke went totally right by you.

Not sure. Me? You? Who knows?
When I first read Twilight I liked it...."
I haven't read the Percy Jackson's but I have been considering it. I'll probably get around to it eventually. I do highly suggest Kim Harrisons series about Rachel Morgan. It's really, really good. The first book was a little hard to get into at first but it was worth it. The character Jenks, a pixie has all sorts of hilarious sayings like "Tinks little green panties", and "Tinks a Disney whore." LOL why it cracks me up I have no idea but it's worth the read.
Also being upset the books are over doesn't make you a geek, it makes me want to the read the books! It's hard to find a story that pulls you in that deeply.

You said something about the Christopher Pike novels, that the vampires were scary but you wouldn't recommend the book. I'm not familiar with them, were they bad?
I have 3 nieces that are so mad about Justin Bieber. I understand about his voice. JB is still young enough to still have that kind of voice. Maybe he will still have it when he is 30....or not.I do not care about JB and never read or watch anything related to him, except if I am watching E! I won't turn it off simply because it has JB.
My nieces agree that JB is super cute. I don't think I will understand it but I am not 9,10 or 12 years old either.
Is he really? Wow I thought he was like 15, but yea he sounds like a 12 year old girl, it's so gratting.
I don't like the book too. It's boring with too much details. The movie is interesting not because of the story but the graphics and stuff. I don't like it but I don't call anyone who does an idiot.
i love harry potter so why do you people hate it?
Kimberly wrote: "Sorry, but he's like 17 or 18... and he sounds 11 or 12...:)"What does JB's actual age have to do with his fans ages?
I assumed you did not read the magazines or watched E!. JB fans are huge. JB young fans are about 8-12. He has lots of teenagers and older ones too. I have no idea why any adults would be his fans but I respect their opinions. Maybe they see something in JB which I don't.
WHY DO YOU HATE HARRY POTTER?! its good for all ages!! it learns you many valuable lessons!!And Most Of All. IT IS A VERY GOOD BOOK TO READ! maybe you didn't understand the book so you didn't like it!! it is an enjoyment! an excitement! DON'T INSULT OUR FAVORITE BOOK AND MOVIE!! and HOW WILL YOU TELL THAT THE PEOPLE READING IT ARE IDIOTS!
no...I loved it..my kids love it...one of the best of all time
thank you..us Pagan practicers are actually really cool :)
Kayla? I think if you say you hate Harry potter, you should take it off your Read list so you don't make Harsh Untrue comments other HP fans have to read. "Only complete idiots would read Harry Potter"
I'll put my hand up and say I tried to read Harry Potter and it did nothing for me. Nor the movies. I appreciate the success of the series, but I didn't get caught up in the magic of it all. At the end of the day it's all subjective.
Kimberly wrote: "I do read magazines, and sometimes, but not often, watch E!. I don't care how many fans he has; tthat doesn't make him good, as you're saying.Anyway, what topic is this book about?"
Ahh...I am so glad that you can remember the topic. Perhaps you experienced short term memory lost when you responded to my comment with..."Sorry, but he's like 17 or 18... and he sounds 11 or 12...:) "
I wonder if hatred does work that way....:)
Are you aware that you're calling idiots probably three quarters of the world at least?And the answer is NO, it's only you. Duh
i read 1 book but then i found out the author killed off some characters i liked -_-
i don't think idiots read this book. but i do hate harry potter books! SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS are way better
I love a Series of Unfortunate Events also but Harry Potter is my taste :D
you know what. at first i didnt want to give harry potter a chance at first. i hated it i thought it was dorky but i gave it a try and i ended up loving it. i learned about friendship and love and harry potter does have a meaning. so if you havent even given it a chance give it chance cause i guarentee you you will love it
I guess everyone else has his/her own opinions but please give it away in a nicer way, Kayla. For real, 'Only idiots would read Harry Potter'?Anyways, I love Harry Potter :D
That doesn't make sense :/
Yes..... Yes she is.
Yea well, I can respect her opinion......Besides - this goes to EVERYONE - this discussion is specifically called 'Does anyone else besides me hate harry potter?'
Well obviously the 'besides me' was implying on her. Don't be so harsh on her guys, she's giving her opinion.
Ah well it only makes sense to respect one another's thoughts & opinions.
I don't hate Harry Potter, but I find it interesting that people can't just agree to disagree, we are all entitaled to our opinions.We shouldn't attack each other for not liking the same things. Calling Kayla a moron is uncalled for. I may not agree with everything she says but I like discussing why people like or don't like a book. This is suppose to be an intellectual conversation, not a place to call each other names.

LOL!! Right on! See we can all get along! haha had to say it.
Kimberly wrote: "Ik! And everyone is bashing her for it."I'm not upset that she had a different opinion..I'm upset she called me An Idiot.
Harry Potter is awsome so don't call HP fans idiots it's just mean
Understandable, but calling her a moron for calling you an idiot, doesn't exactly make either name okay, or a mature reaction. It's her opinion (however wrong we might think it is) turning around and calling her a name in return is worst, because you should know better. Also I'm an HP fan, and I didn't take it personal, so why did you? It's just a book, just an opinion you may not agree with, from a person you'll never know.
I think we could all treat each other with a little more respect, but you lower yourself down by using an insult. Rise above the bait and express yourself without resorting to name calling.
IKR IKR IKRi agree with your words of wisdom! XD

A real apology is being sorry for saying something that is mean spirited. It doesn't matter why you said it, it doesn't matter that she called you a name first. Calling each other names is wrong. If you want to debate your reasons for liking HP, please do so. We look forward to an actual intellectual conversation.
OH, in my opinion!
Just becuase you don't like a book does not mean the people who do are 'idiots'. Ignorance must be bliss in YOUR book.
Kimberly wrote: "Yes, then why did you post your comment in the first place?Anyway... "
I responded to the number of lovers in my country and then it went as far as their ages.
I think in your case, your hatred blinded you for a while while answering mine and then said that things should stick to the topic.
So funny.
Stating an opinion of a book is one thing but calling its readers idiots is something else. A decent way to express your hatred is to support your arguments with facts. Like the Twilight hater did in other thread. It is childish to blasphemy some readers for loving a book that way. The worst act is for anyone depending that. Way pathetic.
I don't hate him, just don't care about him at all.

Are you speaking to the creator of this discuss..."
Yup, I'm speaking to her/him.
I hate Harry Potter but I actually liked the books, specially the third. Cheers!

"Her" who?"
Not sure. Me? You? Who knows?
When I first read Twilight I liked it. I read it in one day, but that's not saying much. I finish lots of books in one day. I liked it, I enjoyed the inner turmoil and young love. But afterwards I felt empty, I think SM did an okay job, but it could have been better.
If she'd developed the characters more and described how hot Edward was less. Small things, like throwing away a thesaurus. Often the best way to write is to be as direct as possible. Using fancy words is self-indulgent. But I have to say I agree with SM's hate of using the said. It bugs me using said, even though I do it in my own stories I always want to use the adjective to fancy it up, again making it self-indulgent. Proving that I have a high vocabulary and annoying the reader.
