After publishing the first four Harry Potter books, author J. K. Rowling was on a roll. The book sizes were growing exponentially, and the fifth book was projected to be over 1,800 pages long, as shown on the graph below.
My adventure at the Harry Potter Fan forum site took shorted than I anticipated. I was able to sustain my patience limits for only 29 posts in that "NO HUMOUR" zone.
My satyric humor filled posts were largely misunderstod and taken seriously. That makes me wonder, if those kids really believe in high speed air chases on stupid sticks... Poor souls...
A fearless author Adam Hoff tries to compare Jack Bauer of 24 and Harry Potter. This is an outrageous insult to Jack Bauer, unbelivable.
Mr. Hoff states in this blog"However, one of the good things to come out of my daily ponderings of 24 is that I've stumbled on a striking similarity between Jack Bauer, CTU Agent extraordinaire, and Harry Potter, boy wizard. This may seem like an odd pairing, but just check out the evidence."
Here are the striking similarities between a world class hero and that stupid boy. How dare one can mention the two in the same article :)
Not that I wanted to troll the Harry Potter Fan forums, but to see what's actually going on in those "love" sites; I visited one . Indeed, I registered with a pretty provocative name for that forum "harrypotterhaters".
And introduced myself in the "Introductions" thread. Read on to see what happened to me :)
My dislike and annoyance against Harry Potter is not due diligence. Never read any of the books, and seen one of the movies (ok, I've seen 10 minutes of one them)
