Am I the only adult that just doesn't get or care about Harry Potter?? What is the craze with the little sorcerer boy??? And why are adults so obsessed with these books, aren't they for for kids??? Who cares who the half blood prince is cause I sure don't give a rats ***!! I'm sorry if this offends some of you but it's been driving me crazy for years! Once I attempted to read one and it bored the crap out of me, I'm sure if I was 13 I would've loved it, but as an adult I just don't understand the appeal. Please someone explain this to me, or at least tell me I'm not alone!!!

Re: Harry Potter VENT Alright, I'm sorry but.... POLL
you just made my day!
ok, i dont think i hate him as much as you do... But i really dont see the big deal in it then again, i was also never into star wars, lord of the rings, and most of those things that seem to have a big 'following'. the 1st movie was cool, the 2nd one i couldve done without (or was that the 3rd.. i dont remember which movie theyre up to). I just dont understand the obsession. For my 15 & 16 year old brother and sister i kinda 'get it', but for my mom and friends- No, i dont 'get it'

I don't understand why people get so upset over the fact that some adults enjoy these books. So what? How does this effect anyone's life but their own. Maybe, they enjoy the simplicity of these books in what is a complex world. I know I do. Out of all of the things in this world to get upset over and question this is one that I don't understand. JMHO.

ditto. I don't care one way or another. I haven't read any of the books or had any urge to read them, but I don't hate them. I never got into any of those long movie series - I think cause I have no attention span so can't watch any movie over like 90 minutes As for the books, I just never even tried to read em, so can't comment one way or another

Never read any books, never seen any movies ... have absolutely no interest whatsoever.

I enjoy the books, but have only read the first three and am not in a hurry to get the latest one. I am not an obsessed fan by any stretch, but I can sort of understand the attraction. It is an escape of sorts, like most forms of entertainment. I think the books are clever and for me, they are a quick read for fun.

I've never once picked up a Harry Potter book or even considered going to one of the movies. I'm glad I'm not alone.

I don't 'hate' Harry Potter - I just don't have any desire to read the books or see the movies.

You are not the only one, obviously. There was a thread on this other day.
Everyone has popular things they hate. For me it is Disney & baseball.
