It's simply... bad. The character names alone should make any adult groan in pain. But even if it were the best book ever, which is hardly possible, then the whole queuing-up-at-midnight thing is just pathetic. Steffen: Let me formulate it carefully: The fact that you were worried your books would not be shipped to you in time for the big launch does have me worried about your sanity.

And you can not, simply because Harry Potter is not your cup-of-tea, tell me and the rest of the community that it is a bad one. Now would you tell me, what makes it a bad one??? eventhough i do not like reading books, but i simply cannot get the bad point of it. and also, please explain, how do you judge it to be the bad one?? And how do you know it is a bad one?? I am sure you did not read the book because otherwise you'd be one of the uneducated people. But I wonder, how do you know it is bad if you don't even read it??? I'm waiting for your answer. Yes, there are good and bad fiction. And you can not, simply because Harry Potter is not your cup-of-tea, tell me and the rest of the community that it is a bad one.

You have added support to my point that only uneducated people will read Harry Potter. Not only are you a coward who hides behind anonymity to resort to name-calling; you also completely missed the point of my posting. Comprehension levels of a pre-schooler is what is required to enjoy such drivel as Harry Potter. It is probably not hard to write "exceptional literature" if your main audience's only comparison is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-First-Alphabet-Book-Leapfrog/dp/0439850959" rel="nofollow">My First Alphabet Book</a>. As for the jealousy part: What a cheap and ineffective attack. Of course I'd be happy to have that kind of money. Anybody who claims they would pass up on so much cash is a liar. But I am not "jealous" of it (I have the suspicion you do not even know what that word means, exactly). Quite the contrary: The exceptional achievement of Mrs. Rowling was to convince so many semi-literates to actually pick up a book, and I fully believe that anybody who can sell something so inferior so well completely deserves the money they get from all the ignorant people. Now back to Kindergarten with you. Maybe they'll teach you how to read real literature, and some manners while they're at it. It’s always nice to see Harry Potter fans disqualify themselves.

And I'm guessing you're just jealous you didn't make the $1 Billion Dollars for writing this exceptional piece of literature. And to say that it's solely a children's book is rubbish, read it, and you may find that it really is more suited for adults. You sir, are an idiot.

If you enjoy it, great for you. But don't tell me Barney is good television. It's simply not, and all the wishful thinking won't make it so. Wenny: There is good fiction, and there is bad fiction. And Harry Potter is <em>bad</em>. Reading Harry Potter is like watching Barney the dinosaur. If you enjoy it, great for you. But don’t tell me Barney is good television.
