[The_Eskimo]

Ok just to get it out of the way yes i like Harry Potter and im a guy.i guess i like it for its good storytelling and all that jazz. but lots hate it why? i am talking about the books. yes i know, the movies are rubbish

 

[JRCB]

I dislike it. I made it halfway through the fourth book before I gave up. It was just so damn boring and uninteresting that I couldn't go on.

I've never seen any sort of large hate culture of Harry Potter other than Evangelists saying it's satanic.

There's hate for Harry Potter? Really? I thought it was Twilight...

They're nice books and they did their job.

 

[Quad08]

They were interesting. I even go back and read some of them from time to time

It's the extreme jesus's going about and saying it supports the work of the devil.

...where are you that lots of people hate Harry Potter?

 

[DividedUnity]

My love for harry potter died after the goblet of fire. I don't hate it but I lost interest.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Really, hate for Harry Potter.

I never got into the books but I thought they had a great impact on the youth and reading.

 

[Timotei]

I don't give two shits about Harry Potter and quite frankly am still wondering why it's still popular.

And then I heard of its thriving fanfic collective, and now I understand. Shipping ahoy.

Because they are actually really bad books which you will learn when you read a really good book. I put J. K. Rowling in that same place as I put Dan Brown and Stephanie Meyer(is that the twilight idiots name?).

Read Allan Moore, Neil Gaiman (specifically the Books of Magic which I have no doubt J. K. Rowling read A LOT), Terry Pratchett, Bill Bryson and many many other authors with actual talent.

Wow, thats exactly the same for me.
Well, I also found Kurt Vonnegut, so non Kurt books lost appeal.

The only hate I heard from Harry Potter I've ever heard was from crazy christians, and they have kept their mouths shut for 2 years at least.

 

[Random Argument Man]

People hate it?

By the way, I liked movie no.3 and no.6.

 

[Airsoftslayer93]

i dunno, i originally disliked them, but then i got more and more into the story as it went on, order of the pheonix was amazing, last book lost it a bit about halfway through, the only thing i dislike about the serioes is how americans insist on calling the first book, "the sorcerers stone"

 

[NeutralDrow]

I loved them all. Read most of them at least five times by now (except Deathly Hallows, only read that twice).

J.K. Rowling is far from a fantastic author, but putting her on the level of Stephenie Meyer is a bit much.

 

[Fusoiya]

Euhm are you confusing Harry Potter with Twilight or something? hmmm that's really insulting yknow
