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

Today, my boyfriend and I had the worst fight of our relationship, and I’m not sure we’re going to make it. Why? Because out of all his hobbies and interests that I’ve happily joined in on, I said I had no interest in Harry Potter. FML

Today, my boyfriend finally convinced me to watch Harry Potter for the first time. I was bored out of my mind the entire time, and by about an hour in, all I could think about was how badly I wanted to punch Hermione for being a rude little know it all. FML

Today, I had to endure my girlfriend crying and screaming at me. The reason? I'm not able to please her like the fictional character Christian Grey in 50 Shades of Grey. When she left me, she took all her stuff and left me with copies of the 3 books. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because she found out I share a birthday with a fictional character who is "untrustworthy" and has a "dark side", so therefore I can't be trusted either. FML

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

Well, it's sad, FYL. But you know, it could have been worse. My ex-friend dumped her boyfriend, 'cause he hadn't read any Twilight books. Have you noticed the "ex-" part? =)

Someone needs to grow up so what if u haven't read them. It shouldn't be on the bases of whether or not u read a book or not

How the hell did this get more YDI votes than FYL votes? Ok, he doesn't like harry potter, his girlfriend broke up with him just because he doesn't like it, and that's grounds for a YDI simply because you enjoy harry potter and hate people who have other interests? God you people are mental.

He got more YDI because look how many Harry potter fans there are. They must be going crazy because I believe their series has ended.

FML is getting filled with fangirls and hipsters. Must be the only reasonable explanation when other FMLs have gotten the ratings they deserved.

As much as I love Harry Potter I have to say this sucks for you. I read all the time my husband never reads. He was even against the Harry Potter movies(he is kind of odd like that) but I got him to watch the movies with me and he loves the series now. Now go find a girl who will appreciate you for who you are and not be so shallow over something as trivial as a series of books even if the books in question are Harry Potter.
