Yeah, this. xD I've been sick of the hype for, what, seven, eight years now?
Hopefully once the last film comes out there will stop being adverts on every second bus and posters everywhere and people asking me when I'm going to go and see it and gah. >_< Hype always dies down eventually, even if the fandom remains.

Not the OP but wanted to say: This. I do not mind a fandom existing but I am sick of all the hype and attention it is getting.

When surrounded by hype, it's all too easy to go from ambivalence to hatred. :( I have no problem with people liking it, I just have a problem with people assuming that everyone likes it.

That is pretty much exactly what happened with me. I just...didn't care about the books at all/had no interest when I was a kid, and continued not to care up until this point but I am just so tired of having them foisted upon me. I don't mind if other people like it but I would appreciate it if everyone would not stare at me like a two-headed freak when I point out that no, not EVERYONE in the world likes HP.

My process was a bit different, because I did actually like the books, for a long time, but then when I went off them I think I had a 'OH GOD WHAT WAS I THINKING' phase... and was really bitchy to friends who liked them. :/ In my defence, I was twelve. At present I am mostly ambivalent, but it's much harder to ignore a fandom when a new film has just come out and it's EVERYWHERE. xD
