I don't agree with her comment that HP fan's are idiots, because I myself enjoyed the books. You are being mean spirited, and you've cemented my belief in that by saying that I am yelling at you, when I am not. I am just stating my opinion on the immaturity of name-calling. Which you've proved by your own statements.
P.S. I'll go screw myself now, at least that will make me smile!! HAH Lighten up, I'm sure we'll all miss you when you're gone!
Yes I'm sure tons of people hate Harry Potter. I also think there are tons of people who love Harry Potter. And a great majority are indifferent/never read it/never watched it... As for me, I'm attached to it- I grew up with it, and it was sad when it was over. I like it for the quirky characters and the imagination behind it as well as the intellectual (Latin, anyone?) To be honest, I was in love with the series. I wanted to be a wizard/witch, and to be swept up in this world of magic and intrigue. I think plot-wise it's fine. Good vs Evil is the heart of it, but there is so much more to it that makes it great! And as a point some great books don't have to have too much plot or be uber-complicated. Also, putting down people that like a certain thing is never acceptable. "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
OMG! I'm SO sorry! My bro hacked my account cause he was really mad at me cause I got him grounded! This is a new low, even for him! He knew he'd get in huge trouble, so I guess he tried to hide it from me! SOOOOOOO sorry Kayla, Ashley Kimberly, and everyone else. I know it's hard to believe this was a prank, but PLEASE! you have got to believe me! I feel terrible he would do this! Josh is going to die!
OMG I feel SOOOOOOOO terrible, I can't believe even Josh would do that! I hope he didn't really offend any of you. BTW my dad spanked him with a belt! He was SO mad when I told him.
no whats wrong with you?
if you hate harry potter so much why bother to post this pointless thread in a FAN club ? common sense isn't so common after all...
I do not hate Harry Potter, but I fully understand why any adult could. I read and loved the first three books as a child. In my opinion, 4-7 were increasingly bad (thought 7 was a train wreck). I still have fond memories of the first three, but I haven't read them in years so I imagine that an adult coming to series might be disappointed, given the uncritical praise of the adoring masses.
Ouch, I don't want anyone to get hit by a belt. I wasn't offended just annoyed.
Yeah, that's Josh, the most selfish annoying human being on earth, he's a HUGE jerk, you should try living with him, uuhhg! it's like his hobby is to annoy me!

totally agree!!Harry Potter is the stepping stone for books like twilight,TMI,THG....it's been one of my best friends all these years!!:]
Maybe it means HP is to Twilight, as pot is to heroin ?

Honestly, there's always one who jumps ahead of the rest of the class ;D
Wow, been a while since I've been able to pop on here!
Well Kimberley, even though I've nothing against you not liking HP, I'll answer your question.
*stands up* Hi, my name's Hayley & I'm an HP lover (ish). I find that HP came out when I was bout to start boarding school and appealed to my (stupidly vivid) imagination with the 1st book of magic and trolls in bathrooms and flying motorbikes.
The writing was a bit simple to begin with but, as I was 11, it didn't matter to me too much. I had HP to curl up with in a corner when I couldn't stand the girls in my dorm at school and then I just had to carry on reading these books once more came out. I love big, long books (and if it's following a school year it's gonna be long!) It was a case of an 11 yr old falling in love with the world that it created, not caring too much about the writing style etc.
Hope this is somewhat helpful.
OMG what is this; some kind of hate group where you insult anyone who likes harry potter?
Go Amber, and Nava and Lauren and Corinne and any1 else who thinks this is the stupidest group ever.I truly dont know how you can survive that ammount of extensive brain damage.
Anyone seen a large, red 'TROLL' button around here - if so, please push it now :)Kimberley - yeah I think I rambled a bit - what I was trying to say was that I orig fell in love with it for what it offered story wise for me, not the writing style or other things that, as an 11 yr old, I didn't give 2 hoots about.
I agree with a lot of you- I love Harry Potter!!!! JK Rowling is an amazing author who managed to produce a 'hit'. She has an amazing mind. Plus, I don't think it's very nice to call people idiots. No offense, but maybe it would be a good idea to keep your opinions to yourself next time- then you won't get bashed about it.
HATE Hary Potter, NO. I didn't care too much for it, but I wouldnt go so far as to say I HATE it. Nor do I think its a very good idea to call people IDIOTS if they enjoy. Everybody's "reading tastes" are different. It's no reason to insult someone. Variety is the spice of life ;)
Opinions can and should be voiced. Name calling isn't needed or wanted.
funny how whoever created this group is now getting backfired upon. Harry potter is just too awsome 2 hate. 99.999999999% of all sane ppl either like harry potter, love it, arent crazy about but know enough to keeo their mouth shut, or havnt read it.
Let's see: (I didn't start this thread, but hate HP) 1. Horribly boring
2. Weird/bad writing
3. Undetailed
4. Weak characters I didn't care about
5. Sad problems/solutions
6. Went on forever
I think Kimberly wrote that; sry but this reply stuff is getting ridikulus. :)
Anyway, 1st of all its very greatly detailed; the 1st like 2 chapters of all of them were like 90% detail.
2nd of all, sad problems and solutions? well thats usually what happens in a war.
3rd of all, went of forever? hardley. what about all those other books that have like 50 of them in a series?
Lastly (sorry im kinda writing a book report here), if you really pay attention, the entire series is totaly planned out. There are questions asked in the earlier books that arent answered until several books later. There are things that are mentioned in one book that isnt brought up again until 2 or 3 books later. Its like J K rowling knew Exactly what she was going to do from the moment she started the book. I've read it so many times i've even found some mistakes, that may have been intentional or maybe not. Its like one of the most complicated book series ever, from a writers point of view. I'd bet a million bucks that no person (who isnt an author) on this website could write somthing as good.
@KaylaWell said. Until last year I didn't re-read any of the first three books because I kind of brushed them off as "pre-exciting HP," and boy was that a mistake. I re-read them with the intention of seeing whether there were hints to Snape's true role in Harry's Life. THERE WERE. FROM BOOK 1... and they are far too well done to be unintentional.
This woman has written a piece of work that is so ambitious that I think she should get a standing ovation for simply trying it. Fact is, she mastered her characters and her setting. She allowed for the characters to have flaws, and she did show some of her own personal faults as writer in the process, but as Kayla said, "I'd bet a million bucks that no person (who isn't an author) on this website could write something as good."
But that aside, people have the right to dislike books. They have a right to express their opinions. They even have the right to make themselves look like jacka**es by being crude. WE who like the books and are not ignorant of their contents have the right therefor to respond in kind. Boosh.
Kayla wrote: "The stupid book has no point at all! Only complete idiots would read Harry Potter!"That's pretty offensive. The Harry Potter book are actually very well-written. They're not perfect. Not in the least bit. But, it is still a great series. Of course, you are entitled to your opinion. Just don't insult others while you're at it.
If there was one thing I hate about Harry Potter, it's how many of its fans say it's the greatest collection of books that have ever been written. Which is a lie. There are a million books and a million collections of books out there (I've read several) that are not only written even better, but are much more entertaining.

I agree, HP fans can go over the top. Its a good book but it's not literary genius.
Well one thing that every1 is forgetting, is that nothing here is a LIE. facts, can be false, But half the stuff people say, are OPINIONS
"I can't believe I was forced to read this book - My thoughts. That's the problem with the "knowing it all, having it all planned"...there's no surprises, no good parts, no unpredictable parts."
First of all, why were you forced to read it? and second of all, it wasnt planned out by the readers; we had to wait to see what was going to happen until the next book came out. it was planned out in J.K rowlings mind, but the readers had plenty of suprises. Also people like it when they know a little bit of what was gonna happen. Something that they can count on. If its unexpected here and there and everywhere, then its confusing.
i hate this book so much,i dont care wat u say. its my opinion and wat r u goin 2 do about it. and i also dont care wat u say about my spellin. its called text!!!
Reno, I don't mind if you hate this book, feel free, that is your right and privilege. I don't think anyone will try to change your opinion. I'm not so sure about the spelling. Isn't "text" just for the cell phone ? Just wondering.
Reno wrote: "i hate this book so much,i dont care wat u say. its my opinion and wat r u goin 2 do about it. and i also dont care wat u say about my spellin. its called text!!!"You simply define yourself, the quality of Harry Potter hater. So interesting....:)

1. How old are you?
2. Why aren’t you aloud to read it?
Amber wrote: "I really love Harry Potter. Please don't insult those who enjoy it. Everyone enjoys different reading different stories and different writing styles."Such a good point.
I AM A COMPLEET IDOIT IN MANY WAYS AND I'M PROUD OF IT!!!!! HARRY POTTER IS AMAZING AND I WILL NOT BACK DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kayla wrote: "The stupid book has no point at all! Only complete idiots would read Harry Potter!"Okay... Read the rest of the series, then come back here, kay?
Kimberly wrote: "I don't like the harry potter series. I read the first and didn't like the style or any of it. It gets kind of old. This kid goes to wizard school and defeats things that come back! WOW!! So intere..."WOW! You aren't seeing this correctly.There's more to it than that.
Meh wrote: "Wow, Ginny, you thought Harry Potter was dark? Ok, whatever. I was reading darker stuff than that when I was twelve. Guess that figures, then. But anyway, only the last two to three books were ..."Agreed.
I totally agree with Lauren. There is so much that builds up through thee the books, when you reread them you catch it all.

"Weak characters"...You haven't met Luna Lovegood yet, have you?

But then I started watching Vlogbrothers videos and commenting.... You should try that!
Hey I think the person who started this chat should have kept there comment to themselves cus they offended alot o peeps
Dear goodreads who hate harry potter if you ever meet a really tall girl named Halie Hall who always wears HP t-shirts don't mention that you dislike HP cus she just might murder you!
It depends on if you mean the series or the main character in the series. I get really annoyed with Harry, but the books are really well written and amazing and I love them.
i got a little lose, what is happening in this dissusion noe?
Kimberly wrote: "So because of how she posts one single little comment on a social book website, you're going to judge her as an HP hater? "It is so interesting reading your comments. Your hatred against HP series seems to have blinded your judgement.
To understand why I said that is to look back at what comment I responded to. She said she hated it so much. Perhaps you can and love to read behind the text, but I prefer to respond to what was written.
Kimberly wrote: "Mattie wrote: "Dear goodreads who hate harry potter if you ever meet a really tall girl named Halie Hall who always wears HP t-shirts don't mention that you dislike HP cus she just might murder you..."YEAH KINDA SHES... CRAZY FOR HP
Shouldn't we all be able to discuss our opinions about books without personal attacks and hurt feelings ? There are many books I feel strongly about, but if others disagree, I'm interested in knowing why. I didn't write them, I don't need to protect or defend them. Lets be civil.
