A decent book that fans often take to the point where it is creepy and/or obsessive and should be immediately treated by an obscure neurosurgeon (or geologist depending on skull density) living in a country without restrictions on medical techniques.
Harry Pottard: OMG I HAVE OVER 9000 pics of harry potter...
Normal Person: yeah go see a brain surgeon
Some of the best books around today that are and will continued to be enjoyed by everyone. Somehow moronic people believe it is comparable to Twilight but they are obviously completely out of their league.
Twilight maniac: OMG!!! Hav u read the twilight books??? Oh wait i didnt either but the guys look HAWT!!!
me: Sorry, I thought we were talking about books. You might not be able to read at a third-grade level but some other sane people would prefer HARRYPOTTER!!!
A reasonable series of fantasy books that got blown way out of proportion by the media. Generally admired by the less widely read and often criticised by life-long fantasy lovers because it's just not that good.
They revolve around a boy who discovers magic and grows up along the way. He encounters evil people who are BAD and good people who are good and even a couple of genuinely interesting multi-faceted characters like Snape.
Bob: Harry Potter's pretty rubbish
Fan: Have you even read the books?
Bob: Yes. Have you read any other fantasy books to compare it with?
Fan: Erm... I read the hobbit at school...
Bob: Fail.
