Were you (or are you) a Harry Potter fan?

I've read the books many times when I was kid. Watched the movies multiple times. But its not like I go out and play Quidditch on the weekends

Yes, I love the books. I re-read the originals in 2020 and it helped me to improve my English. I think it's a great work of art. Books are far better than movies. Movies are meh but still more enjoyable than an average fantasy movie shot at that time. I don't like those directed by Yates though, they are darker and far more dramatic than they should be. When I read books again I was surprised how funny they actually were because Yates made them mostly about doom and gloom.

I have read all the books.
Watched all the movies.
Also watched the play.

I might be a fan.
But I might just love magic and how the stories are weaved.
I don't have any identification or overt connect to it.

I was. I read the first and second books when I was 8, and the third book came out that summer, and I waited for each book after that. I watched all the movies but was disappointed, especially as they went on. I guess the writing changed as I aged, because going back and rereading the first book, I remember it seeming like a kid’s book.
I may go back and read them again some day.

no...but i did do the harry potter ride/exhibit at disney world in orlando which was pretty cool...same with spider man

My kids , 22-33 , still have Harry Potter marathons watching all of the films. I just peek in sometimes or sit with them while I have a drink or eat something

I was always benevolent to it and liked the books. JK Rowling has done a lot to eliminate that benevolence.

Why is this in totally the wrong Group?

Anyway, to answer your question...

Not especially. A friend lent me one of the books - I forget which - and I enjoyed it, but not enough to buy my own copy, let alone the lot.

I've nothing against fantasy stories and had long promised myself to buy Mervyn Peake's Ghormenghast, and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. I have seen a wonderful TV adaptation of the former, and heard the latter as a serial radio drama.

not really, i am a lord of the rings fan.

No but my daughter is. She loves to read

I’m a Lord of the Rings girl 👧

I like the movies.

Yess very much.

It was kinda after my time. When the first book was released I was almost 22 and in my second metal band. I was reading stuff but not Harry Potter or Twilight.

I liked the movies they stood out and I grew up with them. I'm also a Gryffindor, chosen by the hat!

Meh. It's got moments. The part I found most amusing was I had zero interest and no intention of seeing it. Till people told me I "couldn't"

I really loved the books,its always hard to transfer things like that to film

i read the books.
mainly out of boredom. but then closure..

I wouldn't join any fan club (unlike my colleague who encouraged students to call him "Prof. Snape") but I read the first book or two with my kids and enjoyed the first movie.

I will probably read the recently published Yiddish translation of the first volume.

I don't think J.K. Rowlings' controversial statements about gender stuff have any bearing on whether the books are good or not. I love Dostoevsky and he was an outright antisemite.

No never I can't stand the way the books are written and don't like the movies.

I like the movies and read one book. I generally like that universe

No....could never get into the books or movies

No, I was never interested in that.

Meh
I could take it or leave it
I wasn't obsessed

Not especially, nope.

Always. Forever.

Nope. Not into that genre.

Yes 💛🦡🖤

Not really

No.

No. I enjoyed the movies, but haven’t rewatched them or gotten hyped about the stuff.

Yesss

No. The Babe is tho

I am not.

Harry Dresden kicks more ass than Potter.

Not at all. It's like 70's and 80's fantasy without any of the darkness and coolness.

I found the books and movies to be quite enjoyable. If you like such movies and stories, I also suggest The Golden Compass and Inkheart.
