Although I do like The Deathly hallows, Half Blood Prince takes the cake. The tale of Tom Riddle's past, Slughorn, Felix Felicis, Draco's reluctance to join the dark side and Dumbledore's ultimate demise is very enthralling. Prisoner of Azkaban takes a sweet third place.
Prisoner of Askaban is my absolute favorite.
Prisoner of Azkaban was a more chill book. Without the impending threat of Voldemort, it explored the more fun side of Hogwarts. Sirius Black's plotline was one of the best parts of it.
I agree totally, it just seemed more magical.
Prisoner of Azkaban was my favorite for that one shining moment of hope for Harry, that he could live with someone who knew his parents, loved them, and loves him. The hope was dashed too quickly though, I cried harder when Sirius died (in order of the Phoenix) than I did when Dumbledore died.
Half Blood Prince.
After the sheer drudge and endless torment of Phoenix, the comedy fun and frolics of "Prince" was just a welcome relief.
Closely followed by Goblet of Fire and Chamber of Secrets.
OOTP and Azkaban are way down the bottom of the list, simply because they are too damn long. (The end of Azkaban seems to be longer than ALL the other books combined, which I realise should be impossible but trust me -- it is).
Its a close one between 4, 5 and 6, but I think Order of the Phoenix takes it. There's a lot going on that year with the DA, Cho and the ill fated trip to the Ministry.
Order of the Phoenix, easily.
Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth.
deathly hallows bc it is the last one 😊
So the TERFs have made it to Lemmy?
Not really, you can love the stories and still not support the views of the author
Most people who like Harry Potter or have fond memories of it don’t support or endorse JK Rowling’s views on Trans people.
But why publicly support the output of someone who promotes violence against transit people. To support her, to promote her books, is to support the same. Find a different fucking fantasy book
Oh I love Hitlers drawings but that doesn't mean I hate Jews. Fuck off
Uhhh so you think everyone who likes Harry Potter is a transphobe then?
…alright whatever
Easy for you to say, these books were many people’s entire childhoods. Also, liking and enjoying the books doesn’t mean you’re giving Rowling any money.
If harry potter was you entire childhood you need to take a long hard look at yourself
Y’know, acting like an asshole isn’t gonna help convince anyone. A lot of bullied and isolated kids turned to Harry Potter as a source of comfort.
Grow up, read a different book, protect trans kids. Its not that deep.
lmao you don’t need to stop reading something you like to ‘protect trans kids’. Also, kicking your childhood to the curb is a very boomer take on what ‘growing up’ means.
It’s a book. As you said, it’s ’not that deep’.
Maybe you dont have to stop reading it, but you should stop promoting and supporting it on a public forum.
Discussing something you like is totally fine. If you don’t like it, maybe don’t engage with it.
Just ignore the bigots, because that always works
There’s a huge difference between ‘liking Harry Potter’ and ‘being a bigot’, one that you seem to have completely missed.
I see you have the reading comprehension of a true harry potter fan.
lol just keep flinging personal insults and idiotic ‘arguments’ man, real classy.
