Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I've mildly disliked the entire HP franchise ever since I was first convinced to give it a go back in 2001 (when there were only four books).

After a decade-and-a-half of being whined at for being 'unfair' and told I should just give it a chaaaaance, I finally got round to (re)reading all seven books.

Overall, I still think much the same as I did back then.

Ironically, this is the only one of the books I did actually enjoy:

[IMAGE: cover of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"]

It seems to be the fans' least-favourite (at least of the 'serious' books, i.e. #3 onwards). I really don't understand why.

I especially don't understand why CAPSLOCK!Harry is the subject of so much dislike/derision. Honestly, Harry's CAPSLOCK moments were practically the only time I felt any empathy for the lead character. It was the only time he felt like a real, relatable human being, rather than a soulless wooden block being pushed through the motions needed for the story to progress.

S!B I fully plan to continue pretending I haven't paid attention to the series since 2001. I don't want to deal with the ramped up whining if the HP stans I know were to find out that I still don't agree with their precious opinions. (They include blood relatives, and they've started procreating... it's only a matter of time before the subject comes up again.)
