A great series,that for some reason illiterate people like to compare to Lord of the Rings (while never reading either of the two series).No,it's not just for kids.true,the original plot line is directed to a younger audience, but there are plenty of older,more adult themes in all of the books.
Stupid Person:omg,lyke hary pott3rzz sooo gay!itz lyke a tottal ripoff of loTH!!!

Intelligent person who has read both series:Umm...no it's not.And Harry Potter is a completely different book from Lord of The Rings,even if they have similarities.

Stupid Person:*drool*

An average series of books that has made an astounding amount of money for it's author, JK Rowling. Though the books aren't bad, they lack originality... it's just chiché after cliché with a few "original" ideas that are completely random and have nothing to do with anything else.

The "Harry Potter" series shows a very obvious decline in JK Rowling's writing... the first one is moderately good, the second is OK, the third is average, and by the end of the series, JK Rowling is getting so full of herself that she attempts to sell the books by their popularity instead of adding actual content.
The latter books in the "Harry Potter" series are so think that they could probably have the pages ripped out and an entire unabridged dictionary could fit in the binding with room to spare.

Harry Potters are glasses worn with no lenses in them.

-These lensless glasses are often made from the classic nerdy style frame or the Ray Ban style frame.

-This term came into existance due to Daniel Radcliffe(Harry Potter) supposedly wearing lenseless glasses in the Harry Potter movies.

-This style became popular in 2008 with various types of groups such as hip hoppers, scenesters, and hyphy kids.

-These glasses offer no protection from the sun and are merely a fashion trend.
The rims of the glasses are generally bright-colored, cheap plastic.
*At The Pack show*
Tori: Dang, check out those Harry Potters that guy is wearing.
Iris: What a hyphy boss.



The girl wearing the Harry Potters squinted as the sun's rays hit her eyes, regretting ruining her $200 Ray Ban sunglasses.

Series of books that is getting a lot more criticism than it really needs. Sure, the plots or the writing can be peurile, but I think saying that they are a waste of time that could be spent understanding "true works of literature" is bullshit. Enjoy your books, unless you happen to be a high school english teacher and assign what the "critics" (a.k.a., 60 year old men who couldn't find a better job) claim is classic and complex.
Person: Harry Potter is childish and a piece of crap all around.
Other person: I wasn't paying attention, I was busy staring at the stick up your ass.

The greatest book series in the world.

A hell lot more literate than the new 'Twilight' series that people seem to be gaggling over. Be aware that they are two completely different novels, and it's no use comparing the two, as Harry Potter is simply perfect literature, and Twilight is damaging the world of literature.
Twitard #1- no omg twighlits the best book in the worllldddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pothead #1- Um, no it's not. Harry Potter. Is the best series in the world, my friend.
Twitard #2- nooo ur soooo wrong, edward is so frigging hot wat dose hp have, like a dork in glasses but twilhght is soooo much better becuz the vamps r so fkn awesome!!
Pothead #2- Because they sparkle in the sun? That's not awesome, that's kind of gay. Nothing wrong with that, but the writing's also pathetic, and there's minimal plot line, as well.
Pothead #1- I second that notion.
Twitard #1- watevr, i cud giv a billion reasons y hp sux and twilihgt is so great
Twitard #2- y do u guys compare the two anyway there completely different
Pothead #1- We don't compare them, douchebags. You are the ones who say 'Twilight is greater than Harry Potter'. We're disagreeing. That's all. Because YOU KNOW WHAT? HARRY POTTER WOULD KICK EDWARD'S SPARKLY ASS ANY DAY!!! *Avada Kedavra!*

- all Twidom and vampires (from Twilight) die-

:D

over-rated series of books about kids who do magic and battle bad guys.

They are incredibly popular and are often compared with Lord of The Rings

Anyone who even attempts to bag harry potter is immediately labeled an illiterate moron
'Today i read harry potter'
'I don't like harry potter'
'WELL OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YOU ILLITERATE MORON!!! I WANT TO KILL YOU'
'actually i've read them a few times, they're 'just not that good...calm down, man, calm down
