I'm only exercising my right to the freedom of expression. If I had started another thread titled "Hariya Puttar s*cks" or something along the idea, I would've been called a Puttar-hater and blah-blah. The point is - when I see millions waiting for a seventh in the series, I wonder whether to laugh or ridicule them for being so naive.Kumar said:then why did u post if u dont like it?
did u read the books?

It's not even a book(series) for teens, but I've known adults who go ga-ga over the crappy books and even-more-crappy movies
I guess it has to do something with the slave-n-follower mentality of ours. If it's good for Westerners, it must be better for us! NOT!
It's naive and plain stupid to stand in queue for a "seventh in the series". Even movie-goers and cricket-fans are smarter. Seldom do they ponder over the 3rd in a trology or the fifth day in a test match.Kumar said:Why would it be naive to stand in the queue for a book?Dont people wait for days for movie/cricket tickets? Whats wrong with it?
I don't see how a 24-25yrs old can actually "enjoy" a book written for pre-teens!Kumar said:who says the books are "ONLY" for children? Does it mean that adults should not read good stuff 'cos its only for children?
Bad analogy.Kumar said:Does it meanthat as games(computer or otherwise) are meant for children,adults should not play them according to your logic.
It does. But no more retarded than a 24yrs old who likes pre-teen kids too.Kumar said:Im 24 and I enjoy the series.does it make me retarded?
You didn't read the second sentence.Kumar said:Where does the master - slave mentality come into the picture?
Because it's not hype. It's the idiocy of the fanfare.Kumar said:If people fell in for the books just because all others are reading it,its called falling for the hype.Hype alone would not have sustained the huge amount of following the series has for this many years (around 10 years till now IIRC).
Should't you be reading Tolkien by now?Kumar said:Whats wrong with liking something which is genunely good and worth the effort reading?
Nevermind, but that was sarcastic!Kumar said:FYI finished reading LOTR

You don't have to defend your views. It's quite common. Just come out of the closet.saumilsingh said:You are uninformed
And that has nothing to do with whether I like Potter or not.
