Am I just a contrarian or are the Harry Potter books shit...

Am I just a contrarian or are the Harry Potter books shit? Maybe I was just the wrong age bracket when it was released but I just did not enjoy the books. It seems like the target audience are Tumblrites and Reddit neckbeards who don't read books but will read popular books to give the illusion that he does read.

>muh reddit/tumblr
The target audience was children you retard.

Neither Reddit or tumblr existed when Harry Potter was published.

It's just a kids book. Kids loved it when they were young, and that love swept them up and made them think it was the best thing ever. If you have no nostalgia for it, and you're an adult, there's little chance you'll enjoy it. A friend gifted me the books in high school, and I couldn't get through 5 pages. It's obviously a kids book.

It's literally a fucking children's book, however you didn't realise this before reading it I have no idea but that's the only concerning thing in your entire anecdote.

The primary and realistically only reason it is so popular because of the nostalgia everyone has including Reddit tumblr and even this subreddit because Rowling tapped into the psyche of the child really well and in her latter books the romantic hooks of the teenager

That's what he said.

What's your favorite book?

This is a website home to /a/, /v/, /co/, and /mlp/. Veeky Forums shares the racism of /pol/, so why doesn't Veeky Forums share the enjoyment of children's entertainment?

It IS a kids book but it's for everyone (outside of Veeky Forums and christian mothers).

Veeky Forums does not share the racism of /pol/

Get away miscreant

>referring to large groups of anonymous people as having homogenous opinions

this is exactly how stupid people are

No he didn't, you retard.

>homogenous
You couldn't just fucking say mutual. Jesus.

those words mean different things, stupid. I said what I had to say.

>Believes fairy tale of racial equality
>isn't a child

Wew

>tfw you turned 11 but an owl never came with your Hogwarts letter

Man those books were so damn comfy.

That doesn't give Rowling an excuse for being an awful writer, of course. Any decent children's book is a book an adult can also enjoy.

>it's a "join in on the HP/ John Green/ YA/ ASOIAF are shit circlejerk to get upvotes that don't exist thread"

>upvotes don't exist

I'm upvoting you right now.

Pic unrelated.

It gives me an excuse to not care if she's a good writer or not

>YA / John Green similar at all to ASOIAF or Harry Potter

It's all filed under shitty books with insufferable fans.

>insufferable fans

Ah there it is. The true reason for the hate these books receive on this website only.
