I hate that bitch and her weak books. People ask why I haven't read them? If I felt like reading a beginner childrens novel I would bust out my old Babar picturebooks which are infinitely superior.

How true that is. I love to see people get owned for stuff like this.

I hate her with a passion. Nothing says literary fucktard like "Harry Potter went to the store. Harry Potter grabbed a piece of candy, and it tasted terrible, almost like something he'd hate back home". Honestly, and when she attempts to throw in love, it comes out horribly wrong.

She lacks depth, lacks metaphor, and her narration voice is that of a 7 year olds (and thats being generous). I tend to think your literary voice in its full potential, is something you'd read and be natural and comfortable with in front of an audience of literary critics. If this is it, hell, it reflects her intelligence doesn't it?

Also, Rowling, next time you write a fucking 1000 page book for the sake of writing a 1000 page book, please don't include 6 major plot points, and hundreds of pages of filler in between them. (4th book). Or don't FUCKING WRITE A BOOK THATS 700 PAGES, AND THERE IS NO PLOT DEVELOPMENT SAVE THE LAST 100 PAGES! [Damn straight that warranted caps] (6th book)

Fuck I hate Rowling.

I never knew any of this.

I don't like her either, or her books. I only got sucked into seeing one of the movies (and it SUCKED) and read the last book, and it was shit. His Dark Materials, on the other hand - now that is a book series that deserves enormous sales.

Here's the irony: Vander Ark had the material for this book on his website for years, and Rowling is quoted as saying that when she needed to look up some 'fact" from her earlier books, she would sometimes "sneak into an Internet cafe while out writing and check a fact rather than go into a bookshop and buy a copy of Harry Potter."

In other words, she already had made personal use of Vander Ark's work and found it valuable. Even if it has shortcomings, she found it useful.

That means that Vander Ark created something original and useful ? he added value to the product. If Rowling wants to claim that it interferes with her creativity now, she should have made that complaint back when she was using it ? and giving Vander Ark an award for his website back in 2004.

Now, of course, she regrets "bitterly" having given the award.

You know what I think is going on?

Rowling has nowhere to go and nothing to do now that the Harry Potter series is over. After all her literary borrowing, she shot her wad and she's flailing about trying to come up with something to do that means anything.

Wow.
