Could've been worse OP. It could've been the Twilight series. *shudders*

Why are there more YDIs?! The Harry Potter series is EIGHTH GRADE reading level. Reading this series as an adult is not something that you should be bragging about, nor should you be judging those of us who choose to read on our actual comprehension level. OP, your girlfriend is a sad idiot, and I apologize on behalf of womankind.

Why judge a book by its intended reading age? Completely aside from the original post, block capsing the horror that is the notion of reading something is intended for those who are younger than you is pretty ridiculous. That a book or series was aimed at teenagers says nothing about the quality of the content, good or bad, and although such a book may use less sesquipedalian terminology than books aimed at adults... well, that doesn't mean they can't be intelligent, or indeed all around excellent. And making a pre-emptive strike, I'm not a vehement Harry Potter fan; if anything my favourite series aimed at teenagers is His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. If you've not read the trilogy and can overlook its READING AGE (block caps for emphasis) give it a go, you may be pleasantly surprised.

I love how more people chose 'you deserve it' or 'your life sucks...lol. While I can't say I'd break up with someone for simply not habit read HP, I probably would if they absolutely hated it. Actually, I don't think I could think of dating anyone who hated

That's completely reasonable and you should be ashamed

I think there might be another reason why your name is lvl19virgin.

Speaking of priorities, you should figure out yours when you turn 13.

Are there seriously more YDI's than YLS's? This just proves how sane the HP fandom is. And I thought that Bronies and Sonic fans were bad... OP, I feel you. I tried to read the HP books but I gave up after less than 100 pages. And I always fall asleep while watching the movies. FYL for having an asshole girlfriend.
