Thanks for weighing in on Harry Potter, OP. With all the attention the Harry Potter franchise has been getting in the media lately, I was waiting for someone to take it down a peg.

Now I just wish someone would stick it to popular TV show F*R*I*E*N*D*S.

Back when it was on, I'd make fun of it/call it bad, but I still watched it.

I think it was an okay show. Some funny episodes. I can admit that now. I still think Rachel is the least interesting Friend even though (because??) she's pretty much the only Friend who isn't mentally ill.

look okay i was born in 89 so by all accounts i should have a mega boner for harry potter, but who gives a poo poo? i guess there's another fuckin movie coming out thats not harry potter, but really it's harry potter, and why should anyone care? i read the first three because i was in the age group that was right in that target demo in the late 90s and then the 4th one was like, twice as long as any other harry potter book and woah turns out i didn't care about retard wizard poo poo that much.

anyway, thanks y'all for having me, i'll be around, and if you like harry potter enough to get mad enough at this to want to tell me why i should actually like harry potter, lol

Y'know what always comes off as super cool and not insincere at all?

When someone makes a thread specifically to have a conversation about how they don't care about a thing

see, most of the time when people don't care about something they don't go out of their way to talk about it

Okay someone who actually read the books and will dare admit it answer me one question: If all those wizard people had ties to the British government, why didn't they just ask the Prime Minister to send a couple strike bombers and naval cruisers and tactically nuke the evil wizard and his whole army from dozens of miles away? Or provide SAS strike teams to back them up?

Pretty sure one squad of SAS with assault rifles would have made that last battle scene way the gently caress faster. But not as fast as an AC-130 overhead.

I don't know maybe it'd been smarter than sending in a bunch of school children with laser guns magic sticks.

They didn't :confused:

They had their own special shadow government specifically for Wizard poo poo, I don't think they interacted with the actual British government at all

Plus most of the rules of their society revolved around making sure non-magic people didn't know about their existence, which means they had to deal with their own poo poo themselves

The movies made it absolutely clear the Prime Minister was 100% aware of magic and the threat it posed.

I got dragged to literally all of them over the years. This point stuck with me because I seriously hoped they'd do something to help. Was that movie only?

Because muggle technology won't work around magic, they addressed this in the Goblet of Fire. (Reeta Skeeter bugging story line)
Look at all these people missing out on Steven Fry's audio book narration.
