Why Harry Potter sucks

Usually it's the formula books, especially from the authors who pump out 5 novels a year, the ones in it for money, who aren't very good at producing quality writing. sometimes you will find that they wrote maybe one or two good books or, rarely, they are actually good quality authors(like dr. suess).
now my point is, some people think the quality of the writing is very good and others dont and like it or dislike it for that reason. Others will judge it either way (or even somewhere in between) regardless of the quality, or thier opinion of the quality. This is exactly how harry potter is. If you have read it you can judge it however you like. You could judge on quality, plot, genre, or even writing stlye, or you could judge by a combination of these. The only thing you should never judge a book by is it's cover or title or apperance in any way. Judging a book is like judging people.
That is all I have to say to every one of you. I will not reveal my opinion of harry potter as it does not matter to what I am saying. But listen to what I am saying, for it is not just applying to harry potter, I am talking about all writing.

You don't have to think something is all good to like reading it a bit and imagining what it could have been.

Just imagine what the HP world would have been like in the 16th century. You've got Queen Elizabeth, known as the Fairy Queen, manipulating the muggle world with her wizard connections. Or even better: Henry VIII! No wonder he shat in the Pope's face! He had a bloody army of wizards backing up his divorce! Sweet.
Wow...I think JK owes me for this one--she's got a whole 'nother series on her hands.



egh.

1 - The seventh and sixth were boring, I agree, but I don't think the others were really.
2 - I think she was rather creative, so I disagree on that point.
3 - So it's complicated but boring?
Jamain, maybe you just shouldn't read them then.

((Is that good typing, Kenzie?))

how can you not like the books but like the movies? it's the same plot and charcters! and the plot is ver creative! i haven't found another book about teenage wizards who fight against evil beings.


I think you spelled it right SS. (Snowsong)
I wanted to see Peeves too! But I loved the fifth HP movie! Incredible! Except Daniel Radcliff and Emma Watson. I loved Belatrix! (sp?)




ok, so one other series. wow. there sure are a lot of other books about young wizard in a school of magic fighting evil peoples.

OMGosh! Seriously, this little paragraph of urs made me puck in my mouth and virtually spit it at u online. So Kenz, if you find this entertaining, to push people's buttons and make them mad, then get a life! You do this in other groups? (make them mad and see what they do) Right now, I am rather disgusted. Why, Kenz, are you in this group, besides that you are bored and find it entertaining? Because if that isn't bullying, (to torture people for entertainment) then what is?







In reply to Lauren: you might think that the books are boring, and that's fine. but you simply cannot say that they're uncreative. The plot is pretty original - depending on how vague you go - I mean it's the basic good beats evil plot, but really other than that you've got to give Rowling a high five for originality. All the little gizmos ( i love that word) she comes up with and the whole story line - it's amazing... there are a couple things i might have done differently, though as seen below.
In reply to Katie: In general, as long as the child can understand the book it's really absolutely fine for them to watch/read it. Though I'm pretty sure that Rowling did not intend the book to be so widely popular among children and young adults.




Snowsong, good point. He always needs friends or thinks about them (even if he and his friends are fighting)




a. They're boring
b. Completely uncreative plot
c. Way too complicated
d. It just sucks
you can't explain why books suck, they just do
