LOL—I am actually going to miss sanctimonious twits like you who love to give commentary on literature which you have never read. You can’t have read any of the books, not if you lump them in with porn for crying out loud.
Funny what some folks think is a waste of time! You stopped by and posted a comment on a thread which clearly has no interest for you. I’ll stick with literature, thanks.
You stabbed deep. I attempted to read one but could not see the fascination—I said in an earlier post my kids have the books. I don’t think these are all kids commenting here, but perhaps I am in error. Yes, I did waste a minute posting.
If you have something you want to contribute to the discussion- other then we are all a bunch of idiots for reading books that you don’t approve of- then we would love to hear it.
If you are just here to bash us and bash the series, then please move along. No one is suddenly going to go, “Oh my God! Neoliberalnot is right! They ARE dumb!”
And, once again, thanks for bumping our thread!
when so much good literature is out there.
I'm curious to know what you would regard as "good literature"?
Just a bit of background: I am a huge fan of classic literature, works that stand the test of time, from Beowulf to the Canterbury Tales, through Shakespeare and Dickens, right up to modern classics like the works of Tolkien and Lewis. I have found the HP series to be every bit as engaging, even if it is not in the uppermost stratasphere of literary works. A lot of readers pass on the series because of the first book or because of the quality of the movies, and that is a shame. They are missing out on a wonderful surprise.
