16. I'm only a casual HP fan, but it seems pretty damn close-minded and elitist of you to snub all the millions of people who love it as wrongly classifying it as a "classic." After all, being popular and well-loved is what defines a classic, not whether you personally deem it acceptable or not.

I always felt that to define a book as a classic, it had to survive the test of time and all that. :/ I mean, I didn't particularly care for Lord of the Rings, but it's obviously classic. The Goosebumps books were popular and well-loved by 4th graders in the 90's, but I'd hardly consider them classic.

The OP was kind of harsh, agreed, but I honestly wouldn't consider HP classic either. At least not yeat. Give it fourty years and see what happens.

You have a point, though I wish the OP had worded their secret as such instead of making it a haughty attack. >_>; Still, objectively, HP is kind of phenomenon in its popularity, and it has already lasted a good decade... I dunno, I guess time will tell. XD
