Harry Potter is way over-ratedI'm sure many of you are informed about the hype surrounding the release of the 7th and final book of the Harry Potter series on the 21st of August at 7.01am(7.01am? So special! Why not 6.57am then? Oh no I can't decide, maybe 7.13am?) I'm not a HP fan, and never will be. I don't buy into the bullshit and hype, much like how i don't buy into the Bible, mainly because I know its just a big money making scheme. It disgusts me so much to see people so involved with the book. I already know who's going to die, what Harry Potter's children names are(well, now you know who didn't die) and other information. But do i care? No. Seriously, what's is the big hoopla over Harry Potter?! 1200 copies of the book were mistakenly shipped earlier to customers by mistake, and much of the information contained in the book were made available online. JK Rowling said, "I'd like to ask everyone who calls themselves a Potter fan to help preserve the secrecy of the plot for all those who are looking forward to reading the book at the same time on publication day," she wrote on her Web site, www.jkrowling.com. "In a very short time you will know EVERYTHING!" Preserve the secrecy? Please.... It's just a story book. Yes I know you are a Harry Potter fan. But does delving in the magic of Harry Pothead make you more human than those who don't read it? Does it grant you powers? Make you smarter(Besides hearing you spout irritating things like slytherin and blah blah)? You're not part of a special "Harry Potter Community". JK Rowling doesn't care about you! All she needs is to conclude her final book so she has time to spend her billions. What's up with you fools? Why do you give so much of your time, money to a cause that doesn't really care about you? If you think you are part of this "special club" that knows absolutely everything about Harry Potter then I think you are just fooling yourself. Here's the reality. You are buying a book meant to make money from children. Reading the book doesn't change anything, doesn't make you smarter(you can read stuff from other places to improve your vocab and grammar too, slytherin isn't one of those words you can use mind you), doesn't save the environment, doesn't make you prettier. So why the hype? P/s: Some of you HP fans would say, "Well he doesn't read the book, so he wouldn't understand", or, "The magic and fantasy contained in the book makes up for everything" or blah blah. Well, no. I DO understand the hype. But i do not understand why all of you are dumb enough to buy into it. Here's a tip, the wand that Harry Potter carries is JK Rowling subtle way of telling you fools, "Up yours!" Grow up. Savant at 7/20/2007 12:56:00 pm ;
