It's okay but I was surprised it got the reaction it did. It seemed like so many other fantasy books I read growing up.
kunaiwithchain
I don't really either. I was a kid as it was coming out. Just never got into it.
Milchsteak
Good, more for me.
JohnWickdidnothingwrong
It's the scar, right? The scar freaks people out. You should actually talk to him, tho, he's real chill.
ErrantTerrain
I liked the books but the fandom is annoying. "You couldn't identify this line from Chamber of Secrets? You're such a fake nerd, loser."

HiiiImLucky
I've still never seen the movies or read the books. I'm okay with this.
HamboneHFY
Okay.

Upvote for correct usage or downvote because you're wrong. +1 for you.

You are not alone

I agree, it always seemed like thematically shallow movies that pandered to escapist fantasies and juvenile nostalgia
ElephantNipplesAreWeird
I've never seen any of them. Seemed like kid movies. Maybe not.
DonnaNobleHasLeftTheLibrary
The books were written for someone Harry's age. So in the first one, he is 11 - it is a kids book. By the end, he's 17 and it's much darker.
weber468
Books.
DuckFan87
1 and 2 certainly are.
DamnThursdays
I love Harry Potter and I upvoted this. It's a truly unpopular opinion.
MuchoTakeitEasy
Did you read the books or are you referring to the movies?
ienjoymoonlight
So like, magic was used to fix bones 'n shit, but not harry's eyes........?????
HeyCasButt
But the sure as hell fixed his glasses.

frjackhackett
friends had some great writing didn't it
royohz
I actually liked the movies, but the fans are what I hate. Seeing friends like shitty tumblr screencaps on fb makes me cringe so hard.
DeTourGuide
I'm with you guys. It was passable at best.
Howdoilife
I tend to avoid harry potter related posts a little bit but I think that's because one of my ex's was obsessed with it.
LordOfTheDownvotes
Yay, me too!
RaRaRaChihuahua
Never read the books, never seen the movies
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Same, good for everyone who enjoys it, its just not for me.
bimpnottin
How can you say it's not for you if you haven't read or seen it? Just curious
FindYourChillMate
2. Obsess over it. Like for a kids book/film its great, objectively though its really not that well written and the characters arent great
Mistruths
I really enjoy the world that was built, but the story itself is close to awful imo
FindYourChillMate
A thing to remember is its a kids book, i read the first one as an 10 year old and fucking loved it. Now it just confuses me when people

Fandom has a lot to do with age - I grew up reading Harry Potter, I was 8 when the first book came out, so it was a big part of my childhood

Then you'll hate Harry Potter world at Universal Studios.
JointMeyster
Probably yeah, I don't know, never been there
SignedUpForThisComment1
Harry Potter was some ok movies. I was miserable when I went there. Folks are so rude. I can't describe in 140 characters ho rude.
HeyCasButt
I'd be down for a post about you experience
scizorrr
So make a post brah
piklikl
A genuinely unpopular opinion, a rare thing indeed.
OriginalRecipeVic
I knew I wasn't the only one
LaVidaConQueso
If you've only seen the movies I can see why you would hate the franchise
Spanked84
I'm not a fan either. My opinion isn't completely valid though. My only exposure to it is the stuff about it I see online.
Spanked84
But none of it has made me think 'holy shit, I gotta read that'.
ImaTamI
I've never seen nor read Harry Potter.
piklikl
IMHO, you haven't missed much.
ImaTamI
I feel like I see it enough here but fail to see the appeal. Same with Dr. Who and Top Gear. I'm probably just lame.

SirBloop
I posted one awhile ago got downvoted to hell
waytoofoxy
Got downvoted for proper use of the puffin? Someone call the press!
RepostFromLastWeek
That is the only way to tell if it is really an unpopular opinion.
FunkMasterPanda
Downvote him again!
ShankFraft
I've been down voted for commenting that I don't like the band Queen.
BatChild9000
Better put a bag on your face
BatChild9000
Cause you're a big disgrace
zflazeda
Except maybe it would have been relevant like 12 years ago
Hpro
I get Harry Potter on my newsfeed on an almost daily basis on Facebook.
KnockemD
Stop facebooking
zflazeda
from people who wont move the fuck on
MeanCupcake
Really? What's the little fuck up to these days?
Hpro
Oh, you know... Nothing. Just stuff like remember that scene? Remember how the book was such much better? What if?
phenomanonymous
It's not really an opinion, though. I can't differ and say, "Actually, I think you do like Harry Potter."
brndndlsn
But it is an opinion.. because he expressed what he thought about something, making it his opinion
MaxximumB
You are not alone
