Another Harry Potter post on the internet

Someone posts about Harry Potter on the internet. An entertainment site. Livejournal. Facebook. fandomsecrets. Wherever.

Behold, the comments you're most likely to see.






I never bothered myself with the frivolities of Harry Potter. I was too busy immersing myself in real literature.




Dude, why are you even here?





I am expressing my immense displeasure in being forced to read an article on the internet. I clearly have much better things to do with my time.




i never read the  books but the movies are great!!!!



(etc.)





Whatever, she's only staying relevant to she can buy a condo for her each of her designer dogs.


DON'T KNOCK JO SHE'S A FLAWLESS GODDESS OF WISDOM!


That might be stretching it.


YOU CAN'T EXAGGERATE THE PERFECTION OF JOANNE ROWLING!




Does anyone still care?


I still care. I think about him every day. Sirius...


Severus...



Fandom before tumblr...




So um, cool beans and all that good stuff?

This isn't always even just fandom! Often they'll pop up on facebook articles that mention Harry Potter. I guess that kind of counts as fandom, but they're not necessarily fandom people. (Actually, sometimes that adds to the arguing - someone who is clearly a casual fan will say something that shows they mixed up movie and book canon or just don't remember much canon, and they'll get jumped on by obsessive fans. Yikes!)

That's very true -- even in non-fandom areas, people get jumped on for things, but still... somehow, no matter what fandom, things tend to escalate rather quickly o.O
