Also, I liked the Goblet of Fire film adaptation
Don't care, and it's the only film Voldemort felt menacing after returning. By the last films he was just kind of goofy.

Harry Potter is entertaining and there's nothing wrong with liking it.
But like any popular franchise, it's fans are insufferable and that's why most people hate it.
Why do I hate Disney, Marvel and Star Wars instead of just passively disliking them? Because of the obnoxious adult super fans.
Same thing with Harry Potter, except it uniquely suffers from having super fans and, more recently, super anti-fans.
This is every Reddit thread on Harry Potter and JK Rowling. I am stuck between legacy hatred due to obnoxious fans and liking it because of obnoxious, and really fricking dumb, anti-fans.

For the fact that the vast majority of redditors have never read anything except for Harry Potter, they sure don't seem to have actually read Harry Potter.
Any r-slur with the ability to memorize could tell you that Seamus was never exploding stuff in the books. Or that the goblins had basically no Jewish stereotype features other than being bankers and the hook nose thing was just one single character.
These are children's books, and the fans still seem incapable of grasping anything that happened within

The average redditor doesn't read any books, not even the normiest of books. Why do you think /r/books is filled with "should I read 1984?" type of threads with thousands of upvooterinos? Because most of them don't read shit and need advice instead of simply picking some basic 300 pages popular book.

But you bring up a good question we're avoiding: should I read 1984?

Eh. It's one of those books you read in order to have read it. It's not enjoyable.

Some college friends and I were discussing our favorite books years ago, and one guy dropped a by asking "why is it that almost everyone's favorite book is something you were forced to read in school?

Your comment reminds me of Professor Umbridge and how much of an evil hater she was. HP fandom encapsulates all demographics, not just the weirdos online.
