Im not trying to be a hardcore harry-defender here. Im not
saying that you are childish yourself, just that that is the
attitude you are showing in your posts. It just has a ring
of "middle-school lunchroom" to it... Harry potter is
written by an adult, meaning that even if it is written for
children, other adults can probably enjoy it. Hell, I would
enjoy a novel written by a child. Any piece of writing can
be an interesting insight into something. Im not trying to
say your bad because you dont like harry potter, I just dont
think you have to go make fun about it when other people
obviously enjoy it, meaning that it probly has some merit.

i sound like a schoolteacher.
sorry.

ohh that "middle-school lunchroom" comment really hurt my
feelings. sorry about disagreing with people. next time i
have an oppinion i will shut up..
how could i be so blind and not se the brilliance of harry
potter! i mean a book about a little boy with magic powers
cant be bad.. i bet there is talking animals in it too,
right? please say there is talking animals in it too!

wanker..

"I just dont think you have to go make fun about it when

some merit. "

yeah, i agree that it could have some merit, for a 4-11 year
old perhaps..

well you do seem to be close-minded Gubb.. I agree, Potter
isn't literature - its not written very well and the story
itself, although entertaining, isn't structured very well..

but you seem to be dismissing it for the reason that its a
childrensbook.

which makes you the wanker.

forest s'more cos i thought that was a perfect place for
some mischief to occur =0)

Oh theres talking animals in it, have no fear.

or maybe you could read it and find out before you make fun
of it.

or maybe you have, if so, sorry for that assumption.

I wansnt trying to hurt your feelings, Gubb. I just think
that you shouldnt dismiss things as utter shit just because
you dont like it. If it has merit for 4? - 11 year olds then
it can have merit for anyone. I ejoyed harry potter, i did
think it was simplistic. It was obviously written with
children in mind. It didnt keep me awake at night. But it
was still a good, fun story, and while i wouldnt put it in
the same class as Tolkien, i think that saying "i cant
respect annyone who has read any
harry poter books. " is a bit close-minded.

"If it has merit for 4? - 11 year olds then

yeah, i agree, if one are mentaly between 4-11 or have
perverse fantasys about tea parties with small boys and
talking animals or just a bit retarded one could probably
enjoy it..

nah, perhaps i should stop it. i havent actually read the
book and never will.

its not just the book at such im against its as much
everything around it. i fucking hate commercials showing
that crap everywhere. harry potter is the mcDonalds of books
(someone compared it to fast food allready, i know). its not
a book its a product. you could take any book in the same
catagory as harry potter and advertise it and it would sell
just as much.

easily digested culture for shallow people, sheep-people. i
fucking despise it.

ah you despise the commercialisation of the book. I agree on
that, its pretty disgusting. and I do think the books are
pretty overhyped.

still, I did read the first part. so I would suggest first
reading one of the books before going on and on how evil
they are. makes you look really dumb and ignorant.

Gubb, im in agreement with you as well. The commercial
aspect of it is disgusting (not to mention harry potter sex
toys). I disliked the idea of a movie. But i dont think That
Rowling wrote the book with the hype in mind (i may be
wrong). So i feel that the book still has some merit, even
though everything surrounding it turns me off. (or on, as
was the case with the broom-vibrator). anyways....
nevermind.

im not going to read one of the books. it would be a waste
of time. and i dont want to waste my time reading it just to
find out it was a waste of time reading it.

Mush:
"But i dont think That Rowling wrote the book with the hype
in mind (i may be
wrong)."

ive read somewhere when harry potter first poped up that she
wrote the book mainly because she had alot of spare time
since she was unemployed and living on welfare and was
hoping to make some money of it mainly... anyway, she is a
complete sellout and i see no reason to respect her artistic
quality (if she has any).

how soo? most people seem to have read it.. i have read a
review or two and some articles about the book so i know
enough to be certain it will be a waste of time for me
reading it.

how does that make me a sheep?

because you are making assumptions based on other peoples
opinions and have made your mind up without even reading the
book.

I think its okay to read reviews and articles and then
decide you'd probably not like it. but thats not what can be
read in most of your posts in this thread.

criticizing the books without reading any,
that really seems ridiculous to me.

i did not base my assumptions one the reviewers oppinion
since the reviewer liked the book and i dont. i have based
my views on the book on what i know about the book, not
oppinions about the book. i know the book is a childrens
book about a little boy with magical powers who goes in some
kind of magic school or wathever, and there is talking
animals in it and proboably fairys and dwarfs and trolls and
evil that must be overcome which, will be overcome. alas, i
know enough to class it as a waste of my time.. see?

yes. if you'd reread the message just above yours, I already
said thats okay ofcourse. but you've been saying stuff
like:

"it would be great! but continue to read childrens
literature if you want to. keep the stupid stupid.. "

"yeah, i agree, if one are mentaly between 4-11 or have
perverse fantasys about tea parties with small boys and
talking animals or just a bit retarded one could probably
enjoy it.. "


which are all based on assumptions of the book you seem to
have. and they are assumptions, based on secondhand
information. from those assumptions you then make
assumptions about the people who read the books.

this all combined, is what makes that the behaviour of a
sheep.

the whole negative thing about childerens literature pisses
me off, I guess.

well, childrens literature is often called childrens
literature because its for children. and childrens are in
general stupid, so why read books that are for children when
you can read "real" books?
the majority of grownups dont walk around in diapers or suck
on passifers (except ravers..) so why should one read
childrens literature? its beyond me.

"from those assumptions you then make
assumptions about the people who read the books"

i have meet quite a few people who has read the book and
then adding what type of magazines/websites that have giving
it good reviews or wrote positive articles about, and from
that i can extract the statistics needed to make the
assumptions about the people reading the book. so in my mind
my assumptions are valid. they may not fit everyone, but
they fit the majority.

if thats the extent of your reasoning you are not much
smarter than children and childrens literature should be
perfect for you.

well, its like when your at school and you learn how to
multiply numbers then you learn how to do equations and then
you learn trigonometry. you dont go back and learn how two
multiply numbers when you are done with trigonometry. i read
childrens literature when i was a child, i dont see why i
should read it now.

oh, and by the way, the book is about A LITTLE SNOTNOSE BOY
WITH MAGIC POWERS WHO GOES TO A MAGIC SCHOOL AND IT HAS
SCARY MONSTERS AND TALKING ANIMALS IN IT! so if you call me
childish for calling the people who read that book childish.
.well, then that is your problem.

come on people! i knew a lot of nerds listen to aphex and
such, but reading harry potter???

im quite close minded when it comes to certain things i must
admit. if ive allready formed a oppinion on something its
hard to change that oppinion. i still hate mcDonalds the
