“No!”

But really only the first two are okay and even they have problems. Azakaban was where she demonstrated she is unable to write a story without gaping plot holes. Goblet is where she demonstrated her inability to build a world outside of Hogwarts. The Order and onwards is just sloppy drama.

Philosorcerer's Stone and the two books that followed it were okay. It's only the later books where the fame started to go to Rowling's head and the plot becomes incomprehensible mush where the real problem starts, and the braindead retards who think they can apply the characters to current events.

I suggest, not so humbly, that the proper phrase OP should have started with is, "I like it, fuck you."
This defensive posturing in the protection of childish works we enjoy is inadequate. We must make the reaffirmation of our childhood enjoyments axiomatic.
Only then can our true freedom can be secured. If we as children, are not secured protection from the adults we become then we have failed as adults! Adults exist to raise and nurture children, and those who abandon their inner child have failed their duty and abandoned their soul.
In conclusion, /lit/ will endure the bombardment of the soul for the soulless cannot withstand
