Thoughts on the Boy Who (Probably Shouldn’t of) Lived

Hi, my name is Lemon, and I have never read Harry Potter before. But, as a kid growing up in the time of the movie’s release, I’ve watched those. I’ve been surrounded by folks who have loved/hated/been fans of but not anymore/just liked magic of it/liked how much fanfic there was of Harry Potter. 

Now that I am into reading, I wanted to actually read these books! But, it’s reminding me of all the things I disliked about the movies…

In the movies, the main trio are SO BORING. I cannot STAND Harry. He’s so bland and I don’t like him. Ron, love Ron, but his entire character trait is “I’m loyal and stupid!”. Hermine… oh hermine… I hear she’s sillier in the books but I have no clue. 

OH AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE SORTINF SYTEM. Jesus, it’s so weird. If 99.99999999% of bad guys come out of slytherin, get rid of slytherin? Like? This Hogwarts, both produces the worlds hero’s and villains in the same class room… like bro… yeah yeah I know there can be evil in other houses, but like comon… we all know if you’re in slytherin your evil, or at least in association with evil. 

But, take everything I say with a grain of salt.. I’m no like major fan and my knowledge goes to the extent of movies, fanfic, and TikTok’s. ( though, give me 10 minutes and I can give the WORST Harry Potter timeline of the main books )

So far ( the first ~100 pages of the first book ), I already like Harry ALOT more.. he’s silly back-mouthing the Dursley’s! Also, how can I be mad at Hagrid content?! 

Anyways, please feel free to agree, disagree, hate me, hate with me, not read anything I wrote and just say “Harry Potter is [blank]”, or tell me to shut up :))

*** I’d like to add, J.K. Rowling is BAD. I DONT LIKE HER. I got these books for free, I would not support her directly ( if I can help it ) and if we can agree on one thing, it is that  (( if you think she’s not bad leave. ))
