All that proves is that A) Someone has clearly never even tried to read them and B) Someone needs to fucking get over himself.
I'm so utterly sick and tired of people telling me they're kids books and implying that I'm stupid or childish for reading them. I'm sorry you're so goddamned stuck on yourself that you would dismiss such an amazing series out of hand.
A good series is a good series, and the HP books are the first in a very long time to enthrall me as they have. If you don't want to read them, fine. But don't fucking patronize me.
Sorry, but I stopped after the Cedric one. OotP I never completed, and do not intend to. I'll probably get the remaining books and read them all at once, but that's just so that I get a vague idea of what happened.
I liked HP at first, and I love kids books, so even if I'm implying you're stupid/childish, I'll be implying that I'm stupid/childish too. (Not that I mind, but.)
*patpat* Glad you're happy though. :P
Try Patricia Briggs' books sometime. Or Sherwood Smith's "Wren to the Rescue". That's the first of three books.
The ONLY people I know who use the word/sound effect of "squee" are kids or adults (usually female) acting like kids, so if you don't want people implying that your acting childish, making a post that makes you sound like a 5 year old doesn't help the matter.
I have gone *squee* in my life, except on lj and in jest. If you actually think I'm that childish, clearly you take everything too literally. It's a way of making fun of myself, nothing more or less.
I was trying to make a half-assed joke on the irony of the situation, but apparently failed in the attempt. Maybe I need joke tags, like some people on some message boards use [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags, since you can't really transmit "tone" with text messaging.
As for Warren Ellis, the quote was from one of his LJ posts, where he was just posting random things that were coming to mind, while not having slept in a while. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/superflow/7566.html) I found it amusing, so decided to use it on whomever said Harry Potter first. You won! Don't you feel honored! (Don't answer that, I already know the answer.) :P

Glad I never read any of them.

Date: 2004-12-21 05:10 am (UTC)Dude, at least you've read them - and stopped for your own reasons, not b/c some guy who probably barely even lookd at them said they were for kids.
I probably flew off the handle. But I HATE being talked to that way, by someone who has no idea what they're talking about.
