Anyone here like Harry Potter?! (Besides me!)
I do... a little
Read the first 5 books in 3rd grade! Love HP, seen all the movies, did a report on Daniel Radcliffe, ect. I do like lotr, Narnia, and Redwall better though.
I'm currently reading the second book, so I'm still sort of a noob to the fandom, but I like Harry Potter, yeah.
@Gonff That is awesome!, But I do find myself liking those books better to!
@Rain Noob or not you still like Harry Potter! *High Fives*
Eh. I didn't really like it very much. So I don't really get what all the fuss is about.
On another note. I think this topic is going to get merged, seeing as there's probably already a topic on Harry Potter.
I've read and watched them all, I'm underwhelmed by them and they don't deserve the hype they have, the writing is sub-par and the story is mediocre. The characters are this series' only saving grace
After being likened to the Ravenclaw house just because I wore a scarf (by multiple people I might add), I went and watched all the movies in something like a week..... I must say, it was certainly interesting, though, like Jet said, there were things about the story (the movie story, I'm sure the book story was quite different) that just didn't work well.
Meh. I think it's OK. But, I AM going to the Orlando theme park!
Oooo, The Orlando park is amazingly awesome!!, When I went only the Hogwarts/Hogsmead one was open, So I didn't get to see Diagon ally but from what I saw its awesome! ;D
Yes, I'm a fan of the books. :) The books were okay, though I do think the books would be better as a series seeing as so much was cut out, and part of the appeal of HP was the 'ordinary' funny moments that happen to the characters.
I've been to the HP Studio Tour in London and that was enjoyable!
Love Harry Potter! Excellent story line. Guess J. K. R. released a umbridge story.
I just finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban yesterday, so now I'm waiting on my sister to finish Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (which she just started) before I can read it. The cons of having three people reading one series at the same time. ::) But I'm excited 'cause I get to watch the first three films next week when I'm lying incapacitated on the couch! :D
I've read them all. The first one is the best... My favorites are in reverse chrono order.
I've only read the first book. But I have friend who is a die hard Harry Potter fan. She apparently is a Slytherin, and she thinks I'm a Hufflepuff. We were arguing about the conditions of the Slytherin house, I was saying Dumbledore was a fool to take the all the cunning, mean people and put them together and then give them the worst living quarters of any of the houses. She actually wasn't all that against it, which surprised me because she loves Slytherin. Yeah, anyway... ::)
According to several online quizzes, I'm both a Hufflepuff and a Gryffindor, but the official Pottermore quiz says I'm a Ravenclaw, so apparently I'm in three of the four houses. :P However, I found an interesting thingy on Tumblr that was talking in depth about the attributes of each house, so I'm now greatly inclined to believe I'm in Ravenclaw.
Anyway, I watched the first two films already (the first one yesterday, and the second just a little bit ago), and I must say that both were quite enjoyable. I think I liked the second one more, merely because of the superior acting skills of all the cast. The acting of those kids in the first film was a bit... I don't wanna say painful, but right around that alley. :P
Haha, I took five quizzes. Two said I was Ravenclaw, two said I was HufflePuff, and one said I was Gryffindor. Personally, I'd rather be Gryffindor.

Yeah, I believe three said Hufflepuff, two said Gryffindor, and one was Ravenclaw. But after reading the personality traits (once I'm on a computer, I'll try to find them for all y'all), I came to the conclusion that Ravenclaw would fit me best. After all, I'm not particularly brave, nor am I all that hardworking and kind. I mean, I try to be, but it's not always my first reaction to be polite and helpful to everyone I meet. :-\
However, some of the attributes of Ravenclaw students were that they aren't necessarily brainiacs, Ravenclaws could tend to become particularly obsessed with things they enjoy, and they can be quite witty and curious, which are traits I find in myself. There are several other matches, but the analysis I found is kinda wordy, so I'll just wait till I have a computer to post the pics.
On Pottermore I'm in Ravenclaw. But I'm not intelligent... :o But yay, I guess it's nice they felt I should go there. Obviously other traits must fit for me. :)
Reminds me I should go on Pottermore again soon as supposedly more new information from JK Rowling?
*bump*
Here's a cool article I found:
http://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/competition/2015/may/20/jk-rowling-harry-potter-kings-cross-competition
Oh, I love Harry Potter! But only the books, the movies were a rather bland experience and, in some cases, painful to sit thru.
And, as for the article, that was a surprisingly entertaining read (although, I gotta admit that that's a thought that never crossed my mind).
So much I could say here. Harry Potter is one of my favourite things in the world. I started reading HP and Redwall at the same time (in 2001!), and I grew up on both. I've never been able to determine which I love more. I have so much House pride - I'm a Hufflepuff! - I enjoy Pottermore and achieved membership before it was open to the public, and I have never met a soul who can best me in HP knowledge. HP has branched out so far in the nearly 20 years it's been alive, and everything related to it interests me. I don't listen to the opinions of those who have only seen the movies and have not read the books, nor do I give attention to those who eschew the world of Harry Potter because of the witchcraft upon which it is founded. There is a whole, complex, captivating, wonderful world created in those books, and I love it.
Thanks for bumping this, Sage.
You'll be getting a post in your question thread soon.
Who's looking forward to Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them? :D It will be a shame not to have many familiar characters (a few cameos planned for obvious characters like, probably, Dumbledore) in one sense, so I hope it will have enough Potter-world charm itself! I don't know how they can make the subject really interesting story-wise without just being different places he adventures to see another creature... I'm sure they'll think of something to stretch the appeal.
Wait, they're making a movei for it? How fun....
Well, I am, forr one, looking forward to it! I particulary like the animals of the HP world because they make it so... like ours, just with some uniqueness. :D
What would be really cool is if they make it like a report on the WWN, so it's like "Here's out nature program, featuring an exclusive interview with Newt Scammander." Get it?
