		<description>I totally agree with you Bobby.. I tried to watch the first movie when it came out and the second but never got into it. 

My problem is that harry potter (daniel radcliffe) is a fucking gay nerd and everytime i see or think about his face i just want to smash it!

Any male fan of his is probably gay!

FUCK HARRY POTTER AND THE FANS!!!</description>

		<description>You&#039;re entitled to your opinion, but saying a book sucks because it is too long is one of the worst arguments I&#039;ve ever heard.  HP may be a children&#039;s series, but it deals with a lot of topics that adults deal with, and the story line is deep and complex.  People of any age can enjoy it.  Also, I failed to see one valid criticism of the content in the novels.  To me, this sounds like the rantings of someone who&#039;s seen the movies, but never read the books.</description>

		<description>Hmm, it seems to me that you think the fan frenzy surrounding the books is annoying, and not the books themselves (perhaps you should change the title). I fully agree with you about the fans, it&#039;s absurd. But the books themselves are good reads, though not the most thought provoking, they&#039;re truly engaging.</description>

		<description>HP sucks ass, but these folks obviously know how to market this crap well.  It&#039;s pathetic to see adults dressed up in costumes, waving their wands and shit.  The people need to grow the fuck up and read a real book.

HP books don&#039;t stand alone and could never be in the same league as The Classics.  I can&#039;t believe teachers use these books in their curriculum.  HP is nothing more than refurbished bullshit plots.  I would rather read, &quot;What&#039;s Your Poo Telling You?&quot;</description>

		<description>Thank you so much for your wonderful rant Leila! I think you covered all the aspects of Twilight. But you forgot to mention the bit that it was originally a wet dream of Smeyer. The person you replied to is apparently a sad obsessed fan whom seems to enjoy plugging in twilight into every conversation. She needs help. They all do. And, I don&#039;t believe they could make twilight rated R simply because, based on demographics, teens ages 12-15 are the most avid followers (that and moms). In my theater, they don&#039;t allow those ages into an R rated film. So you might have to wait for the DVD release at a nearby Hot Topic sweetie.

Now to the person who wrote this:

Although I am a fan of Harry Potter, I will not view your comments in less than a completely unbiased way. Have you ever heard of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry&#039;s &quot;The Little Prince&quot;? It&#039;s a classic.
It has been translated into more than 180 languages and sold more than 80 million copies, making it one of the best selling books ever.Though it is regarded a children&#039;s book, The Little Prince makes many deep and idealistic observations about life and human nature. 

Though I may not go as far as to compare it to Harry Potter, it does disprove your claim that children&#039;s books should not be read by adults. 

Everything else is funny (yes I laughed) but irrelevant to your argument.</description>

		<description>Pardon my ignorance; due to your literary style, it had not crossed my mind that perhaps you did intend to express your *opinion* and not a *fact.* If this is the case, disregard my post, but please try to designate that your opinion is in fact opinion in the future; some people can&#039;t tell the difference.</description>

		<description>Dude...

Pretty much all of your evidence for Harry Potter&#039;s suckiness was subjective.

Seriously, if you want to complain about how Harry Potter sucks, at least get some objective facts about it. Sounds easy, right? Not so much; objective facts about it don&#039;t exist because &quot;sucks&quot; is in itself a subjective adjective. If you want to complain, complain about something objective regarding the books or movies. Don&#039;t complain about how much your opinion hurts. Sure, you had some objective facts, but those objective facts didn&#039;t objectively suck; the means by which you portrayed them made them *subjectively* suck. Suppose I said that killing people was good because it was thinking far, far outside the box (outside the largest box of all: morality). I&#039;d be right that it was thinking far, far outside the box, but does that mean that killing people is good? No, it does not; not objectively, at least. So stop treating your opinion as objective fact and go find some other way to feel intellectually superior.</description>
