Do you hate harry potter too or is it just me? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people3 years ago

I hope I'm not alone on this.I know a couple of people who hate harry potter too.Its something totally not real and something i just cant digest.

I'm not much of a reader,so I'm not sure about the books.But i sure find the movies obnoxious.I dont know if I'm right or wrong on this cuz its just what i feel and i wish I'm right.lol.

So how about you,what your viewpoint on this?

Good for you not liking the films. The author of the books is a great author, and the books are good too. But, it's something you can't get into, so that's you.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

i guess not.just read the responses below.

You don't like them, because they fake? ummmm LMAO
That's why it's called fiction or fantasy DUH


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

but its the worst of all.Duh!

yeah you sure


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1456)   ranked 3,204 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Who are you to judge it's the worst of all? Obviously millions of readers and viewers disagree with you. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it bad.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

i needn't be someone to say that its the worst.I can say whatever i want and so can you.

I don't know if I hate Harry Potter I just can't get into it. It just seems so boring. However, I've never read the books so maybe I'd like it more if I read the books instead of watching the movies.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

thats the point.Its boring and faky and thats what i hate about it.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1456)   ranked 3,204 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

I just read some of your other discussions and wait a minute here. You like saw? Like that movie is so based on reality and there is nithing fake about that? I guess those people really do die and it's all real blood and bla bla. Oh yes and prison break, now there is a touch of reality. NOT
Get over yourself will you? I think this is just a feeble attempt to get in the top discussions, which judging by one of your other posts, seems to be your constant goal.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

you can stay out of this if you want to.I got nothing against you.I'm just gonna say it once.Stop stalking me.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

people get killed in real life just like in saw.Ring any bells? Now does that sound like reality?

Stop speaking about prison break cuz its way better than what you can think.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1456)   ranked 3,204 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Excuse me?? I can post anywhere I want to, this is an open forum.
You want me to stop talking about prison break, because YOU like it? But it's of for you to speak bad about something that other people like? Who do you think you are?
I see you are only 21, you have a lot of growing up to do my friend.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

ok mom.I'll take your advice.Dont think your the tree of wisdom or something just because your 36.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1456)   ranked 3,204 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

I'm not your mom, if I were, you sure would be better behaved I tell you that much.
I just think that you need to grant other people their opinion as much as you expect them to grant yours.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

man i hate think what I'd be if you were my mom.I'd be a retard going on the streets like a vagabond not knowing the purpose of my existence.*shrugs*


myLot reputation of 81/100. jess19892007 (183)   ranked 2,653 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

What would her being your mom have to do with anything? It seems to me that you already walk around on the streets like a retard not knowing your existence. Except, I think you forgot something...oh yeah, that you have something big up your a$$...maybe it's your brain. I think you'd be a lot better off with her as your mom, at least you'd have some manners. So, since when is saw like real life? Sure, people get killed everyday, but I don't think they have to saw their own foot off or have to try and survive from deadly toxins. Or get their bones broken from a f*cked up machine. Or almost drown in pig intestines. THAT IS NOT REAL LIFE! If it were, hopefully you'd die one of those ways. And, no, I'm not threatening you, I'm just wishing.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

hey it was never between you and me.I was responding to riptide' comment.Why would you get so worked up if i respond to her comment when it doesn't concern you at all?

About saw,i would certainly love to die that way its much more thrilling than just dying like every other one.Dont you think so? So i actually wish that your wish comes true.So i guess that didn't hurt me much.Better try something bold and mean cuz its sounded like a big wuss.

And you know that i can report you abuse for violating mylot's terms and conditions but i wont cuz i ain't a wuss like you.I like to fight the battle no matter what.So if you'd like to go ahead then bring it on.


myLot reputation of 81/100. jess19892007 (183)   ranked 2,653 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Because you aren't a wuss like me? WTF...As far as I know, I'm not a wuss. I sure didn't report you, and if you want to report me, I will report you. You say I'm violating terms, so are you. Why would I get so worked up? It's just that you're being majorly rude, which I would like to say in a different way, but I don't want to violate mylot terms. Oh, and I don't know how my remark was supposed to hurt you, I was merely stating a fact. People don't normally die that way, and if you want to die like that, go for it. Only freaks want to die a painful, drawn out death, so you have fun with it. See, I'd "bring it on" in here, but I don't feel like getting banned anytime soon. Wish you would though...


myLot reputation of 86/100. HighReed1 (881)   ranked 1,259 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Ok. Why don't you guys agree to disagree and move on? We don't need flame wars starting in a Harry Potter discussion!


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

i would love to call truce but jess is all out to get me.I really dont know what i did to hurt her.

And jess i was rude to riptide only because she reacted that way to me.Its just Quid pro quo --You scratch my back and i scratch yours.I never meant to be rude to you.Just read the comment i gave for your reply and you'll know it all.I think its on page 4.I'm never this way but for the times when people rub me the wrong way.Just like you and riptide did.


myLot reputation of 81/100. jess19892007 (183)   ranked 2,653 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

I'm not out to get you, I'm just all for sticking up for other people lol. You're the one that said to bring it on. But, as Lee said, we agree to disagree...


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Yeah i did say that because i thought thats what you wanted.lol.
So i guess we're good now,right?


myLot reputation of 81/100. jess19892007 (183)   ranked 2,653 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Yeah, I guess. Just don't ever mention how you hate HP to me again lol. I just love the books so much...although you started this based on the movies.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Now thats a sweet ending.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vega83 (1416)   ranked 327 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

c'mon people give the guy a break, so he doesn't like Harry Potter, there's no reason to attack him like that. I love Harry Potter but we just agreed to disagree, there's no need to get personal.
Let's just call a ceasefire here.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

hey vega! much thanks for sticking up to me.It really meant much.btw the feud got over a couple days back.lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. vega83 (1416)   ranked 327 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Yeah, well, you know I just got back after that involuntary break, so I thought I'd give my two cents anyway.


myLot reputation of 81/100. jess19892007 (183)   ranked 2,653 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Lol vega, like he said, it's over. At least a week ago...

Why did it have to be over before I came??

Hello friend, You are the first person I've heard verbalize that they don't like Harry Potter, which of course is totally your choice.

But love him or not, the writings of JK Rowlings - being the Harry Potter and friends adventures has done more for literacy in the world than English teachers - no disrespect intended there. The first book started an amazing wave that saw children young and old reading books.

It also showed how children young and old (by old I'm talking adults) were seriously missing a good hit of fantasia. Perhaps it helped people get out of their humdrum serious boring lives and hide themselves in a different world that was full of fun and mystery and magic. We could all do with some magic from time to time.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

I understand when you say that we could do with some magic but yes only when that magic is for real not when they are some meaningless spells which actually do nothing at all.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Tetchie (1300)   ranked 70 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Do you mean there are real spells that really work?


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

hell yeah! what so you think the wiccans and the pagans do.Or atleast they claim that they work.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

PS:I don't believe in them though.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1456)   ranked 3,204 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

Ok, wait a minute here. First you claim, there are real spells that work, then you say that you don't believe in them. So which is it?
You are full of contradictions pal and spells is not all that pagans or wiccans are about.
And what do you expect? It's a childrens book, they suppose to have real chants and spells in their?


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

myLot reputation of 94/100. Tetchie (1300)   ranked 70 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

myLot reputation of 90/100. craz2max (213)   ranked 5,954 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

I've got a question for you guys. In several comments you mention things being fake. Does that mean you don't like any fiction, sci-fi, or for that matter any movies? Movies are fake. They are made up from somebodies mind. Even movies based on real life are fake. I don't mean to ridicule you but I am ginuinely confused.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

to be honest, i hate fiction based and sci fi movies.

I can't say I hate Harry Potter, but I really don't understand why it's so popular. To me it just seems boring and I quite frankly just refuse to read the books. Now, I have watched some of the movies and while they were entertaining, they certainly weren't anything special.

I prefer the Lord of the Rings movies over the Harry Potter movies and they still annoy me (big fan of the LotR books, don't like the changes Peter Jackson made).


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

yeah i have to admit that its boring.


myLot reputation of 81/100. jess19892007 (183)   ranked 2,653 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

That's because the movies are messed up. They are nothing like the book, they are so cut up. You should really try reading the books. The first one isn't spectacular, but the others are much better.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

It is not like I hate it, is more like I don't like it or all the cult people do about it. It just seems to much for a simple story about wizards and spells... There are so many books (and some are probably better then harry potter) with the same topic available and people only talk about harry potter.
Maybe people should give other books a chance and stop all this thing over harry potter. At that time maybe the author will start thinking about making other types of book, and stop exploring this story.


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

I feel that everyone has a choice for their own opinion and I respect everyone of those who don't like Harry Potter. As for me, I do enjoy the books but not so much of the movies. They've adapted alot of scenes in the movie and it's not as good if you read the books.. Well, I'm a fan of fantasy. So I enjoyed Lord of the ring to.. Of course the movie is fake, but it's all fiction like most other movies too.. I guess most of you aren't into fantasy, thus disliking Harry Potter.. But it's ok.. I'm not offended. It's just a story..;)


myLot reputation of 74/100. sensesfail (1155)   ranked 3,620 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

myLot reputation of 99/100. mean_queen (837)   ranked 20 out of 35,243 in people  3 years ago

everyone is entitled to their own opinion. i have no problem with u expressing what you don't like.. that's what makes you your own person.. if for some reason you've read the book or watched the movie and still hate it,well that's entirely up to you. some people just have to realize that dissing other people for what they like or don't like, is inappropriate. after all, this is a discussion and not about people taking side..=) cheers~~!

I would have to say I totally disagree. I actually love the whole Harry Potter series. I think it is extremely imaginative and it really lets you escape for a while. The only movies/books that come close in comparison for me is The Lord of the Rings which I like even more:)

My two cents.
