Today, after months of being pestered to do so, I finally read the first Harry Potter book. I hated it. Upon hearing this, my girlfriend posted the fact on Facebook, where I immediately received tons of abuse and eventual shunning by my friends, family, and coworkers. My girlfriend just laughed. FML

Could have been worse, could have been twilight

So you're getting shunned for having an opinion of your own? Shit, the people you know are assholes!

I personally believe that the first book isn't all that great either. I mean, I LOVE all the other books. Sorcerer's Stone just wasn't as descriptive or captivating as the other six books. That is probably just because it was her first book of the amazing series so she hadn't really gotten the hang of the Harry Potter's plot, characters, and everything else. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't the best. Although, it was very clever of J.K. Rowling to think of making the snake that Harry lets out in the first book turn out to be Nagini and the whole voldemort meaning flight of death was genius as well.

The snake that Harry let out of the zoo wasn't Nagini. That snake was a boa constrictor, Nagini is venomous. Also, the snake that escaped the zoo was male and Nagini is female.

wow, I didn't know it was a crime to have an opinion.

That's you, then. Not everyone will love everything. I didn't start reading the series until late 2011 after I'd turned 25. I was given the first two and quickly bought the next three and then got the last two. Finished the series in three months. I actually enjoyed "Sorcerer's Stone" enough to want to read it on its own again, which I did earlier this year, then I wound up re-reading the entire series. "Pig snout!"

only faggots read that sheeple propaganda fairytale hipster trendy shit. grow a garden. don't waste your time reading that bullshit. make use of your day and yeild what you sow. be a hero. you could be eating home grown food or you can sit on your ass and think about spells and witches on brooms. some people are caught up in some puppetry fairytale la la land bullshit. unreal.

This is total BS. Not everybody likes Harry Potter, and people need to get over that fact.

That's awful OP. However I recommend you keep reading. the books get WAY better as the series moves on. If you get through book 2 and 3 and still hate the series I'd say you really don't like it.
