All they have done is disagree. No doors kicked in and people beaten. Just people expressing an opinion. But you'll note that ridicule seems to be the primary tool used to defend Harry Potter. It's the whole pack mentality. "If you aren't one of us, you are stupid". The same reaction my kids get at school because they don't read Potter or play Pokemon or watch Rugrats. Welcome to the 2nd grade.

"If you aren't one of us, you are stupid".

Nice try at using tu quoque. Notice you're doing the same thing here to discredit someone else that you say he does to discredit detractors of Harry Potter. If it's an invalid form of argument, then it's invalid for everyone. This is also possible: "Because you are stupid, you are not one of us." I've seen a far greater use of reasoned analysis in the "defenders" of the Harry Potter books than I've seen in their detractors.

or watch Rugrats.

Rugrats are evil? Please don't tell me Chuckie is the evil one and ruin it for me. Though I have always suspected Tommy.
