Who Hates Harry Potter? - Page 3

Elf.Freak · 12-03-2002, 11:43 AM

i liked the book, hated the film! i hated it even more when people started to call 1 of my friends Harry Potter (trying to defend my friend, not HP!)

I AM A TOLKIEN FAN AND PROUD!

We'll say this again, nice and clearly so the especially dim people will hopefully catch on: HP and LOTR can not be compared.

Yeah, that's annoying, I know. I have two best friends, who are also each other's best friends, and due to out respective personalities, guess what we get called?!

LOL! Check your math there, Lanelf. Three of us, not just two.

Nah, we reserve that for the mother and daughter team who are ALMOST our arch-enemies; all the characters seem to be here, but the real person is always opposite gender to the character, I haven't a clue why.

very tru.........but been an esspecially dim person myself i feel i should try and find a way. hmmmmmmm they both have wizards in them? but which is the only one where the wizards can kick real ass?

Reumandar · 12-10-2002, 09:33 AM

I think Harry Potter is awesome. I've read them a few times, read them before LotR; I think all of you that said this are quite right(!) You cannot compare the two they are both great in there own ways; And those of you that say "oh it's to boreing couldn't pass the first one Bla bla bla..." Well that is how I was with The Narnia series Couldn't get past the first one (LWW) than one day I said to myself "Must...read..." *said in a strained voice*
and so I read it and now they are one of my fav; it was the same way with FotR, I am ashamed to admit, But it took me a long time to get past the first chapter ( or two

), anyway you have to read the whole thing in order to understand everything, and when you say something is stupid before you read (or do or what ever) it, you never give it a chance therfore all you can think of is "this is so stupid" and so you are forever ignorant of the great and wonderful things that whatever it was could hold.

I guess I am sortof comparing Lotr and Hp, but oh well...

I was a devoted HP fan before I had even heard of Lotr. I read the Hp books as they came out. I loved them. I also love the movies. (Rupert Grint is sooooooo hot!) I first read the Hobbit at the begging of sixth grade. Then I read all of the Lotr books. I know that the HP books were geared to childrean, and me being one I read them and loved them, still do. I found them a heck of a lot easier to read than Lotr, and in some ways more interesting. They moved a lot quicker and were easier to follow. The lotr books are also excellent, but they have a lot more depth and take a more developed mind to interperet and understand. I have not even atempted to read the Silmarillean (sp?) though it sits o nmy bookshelf calling me to read it. Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are my favorite books/movies and I will not chose wich one I like the best.

Millane · 12-23-2002, 11:01 AM

hehehehe elf freak i dont know if you would like me then... there is this kid at school who is about 2 years younger than me but he tottally looked like HP and he was intolerable he came up and pushed me and my friends coz he knew if we beat the crap out of him we would cop it big time (one of my friends dropped him anyway hehehehe)...
ummm ive read em i thought meh... that rowling lady is so full of crap though she says she wasnt in it for the money and she just wanted to write a decent childrens novel well how come she has stopped writting them because she is off washing her notes like scrooge yeah thats right scrooge...

eowyngirl14 · 12-23-2002, 11:37 AM

hee hee hee heeeee... You can never make me choose!

I thin kthat they are both good books, and I will admit that lotr is over better quality than HP, but I still think HP is a very very very good book!

BeardofPants · 12-23-2002, 01:25 PM

Millane, you have the wrong weather in your sig. Dodgy bloody Australian.

arrowgirl · 12-27-2002, 05:02 AM

I think that Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are both different and can not be ocmpared.
They both stand seperate.
They are boh great books that will live on for a long time.
As far as I'm concerned they both rock!!

my friend kept saying to people who called her Harry Potter that she'd trun them into frogs

, not that it helped much

. i'd just ignore them (or hit them as hard as possible, as i found out that works for a while

)

Silverstripe · 12-28-2002, 12:30 AM

Well, it's also ridiculous. I am not a Snoodie, I'm a Dal- never mind. Please forget I said anything and go back to daily activities such as yelling at the computer for being stupid.

Gwaimir Windgem · 12-28-2002, 10:29 AM

Yeah, the Dals are really, really cool.

Silverstripe · 12-28-2002, 04:27 PM

Well, we both know that's not our complete name, but...

Harry Ron and Hermionie???

Yah I know a friend of mine(Jennifer E. from commerce) has a friend(Rumor i don't know her lst name or place of residence at this time) and the first night we met we hit it off. My friend is like Harry(peacemaker). I am Hermionie(I love school and am like the top in my class) and Rumor is Ron. Rumor called me abnoctious and so that is like Ron saying Hermionie didn't have friends. but all is forgiven he he he

Silverstripe · 12-28-2002, 08:08 PM

Yeah, that's what we're called, but I've occasionally gotten into arguments with "Emma" (name changed to protect the innocent and everybody else) over which of us is who. She says I'm more like Harry and she's more like Ron; I don't agree.

Actually I'm not really "most like" any of the three characters.

Of course, Emma and I DO agree on one thing: Michael is the one most like Hermione.
