If you don't mind, could you tell me why Harry Potter is part of your list ?
Cause I'm a jerk. Haha. People have been telling me I'd love it for years. As soon as someone tells me I'd like something, I'm instantly disposed to disliking it. But, I'm aware of it and so are all those close to me, so it's more of a personality quirk/joke than a hurdle these days.
I have the same quirk
btw I think Harry Potter is highly overrated, indeed.
I wonder where that comes from? that if lots of people tell you "you have to do A. or you have to go to B because it is so awesome", then it loses appeal for me.
Probably because it makes me build up a positive expectation, and if it sucks, it is going to suck really bad, because of that.
