It makes me, in all earnest, mad. I don't hate the books. I don't appreciate the books, because they're derivative and poorly written trash, but I sincerely do not hate the books.
I hate the fandom community because they project their own hopes and dreams and desires for the story. They want a story to be told just as they want it. They want the characters to be just the way they want them to be. They want events to unfold just the way the want them to.
I hate the Harry Potter fandom because they are infantile with their wanting to have their desires for a piece of fiction validated in print. J.K. Rowling is a money grubbing panderer and has sold these Peter Pan syndrome fans the story that they wanted. That's fucked up. Only small children should want a story to be a certain way because they can be excused for not understanding the consequences of neglecting personal growth. We don't grow as people when we get what we want. We don't become wiser for the literary experience if we know how the story progresses and ends because it's going to progress and end in the way we wanted it.
So, I don't hate the books. I don't even hate Rowling for making an easy pay day. I just hate the fandom who refuses to grow the fuck up and, God forbid, learn to engage literature without the God-damned egocentrism as if the book was supposed to be written just for them.
