Look what I just found.

"Rowling’s creativity when writing the Harry Potter series has been unmatched by other writers.

The writing and story line appeal to any age of readers, making the series something a whole family can enjoy together."

>the average person actually believes this.

But that's actually a good point. Ignoring all of you faggots that read 2deep4u shit to appear more intelligent, Harry Potter is an objectively brilliant book. It wouldn't have had 8 box-office hit movies produced about it otherwise would it?

I enjoyed reading Harry Potter. I was in third grade when the first book came out and liked the series. I thought books 5 and 6 were unnecessary filler and the last book wasn't wonderful, but I still enjoyed the series.

What keeps me from mentioning I like Harry Potter irl is the fucking fangirls. Harry Potter fangirls are by far the worst fans ever, worse than Twilight moms. Seeing these people makes you wish Rowling's books never achieved the popularity they did.

Well, while I don't think she's especially more creative than a good many other writers, she did do one thing exceptionally well, and that's to create a decently creative story with mass appeal and a very profitable target demographic. Being financially and critically successful as a writer is an accomplishment in its own right, regardless of how good your work actually is. Hell, Dan Brown sold a shit ton of books, and I think we can all agree his prose is basically bottom of the barrel.

Love it or hate it, I'd say Rowlings creativity is outdone by several others. I give her credit for the vastness and intricacy of her concept, but for sheer creative power I'd give the award to Vonnegut.

Man, I think you over simplify him. You could oversimplify any author with an overtone of condescension. But to respond to you more directly, what do you find to be the hallmarks of the talentless try hard as opposed to my opinion that he is utilizing a large array of subjects for one large point?

Also, what else have you read? Mother night was fantastic and rather down to earth.

I don't think he's wrong, though. If something achieves that level of popularity, obviously SOMETHING went right. I don't think it's particularly wise to write off something as populist trash just because it's accessible to a wide range of people.

Why do you always assert Feminister is a woman? Do you have any proof, anecdotal or otherwise?

Because she was outed on /adv/ as a man masquerading, and disappeared immediately after. Feminister is a dude. You got duped like the rest of us, but I understand it's more embarrassing for you since you always played the toady.

I started reading Harry Potter to test my english, seeing as it is not my native language... so I chose something easy. Even back then I thought: dear God- this is awful. The story is quite nice and everything -one could really make something out of it...
