Thinking about changing polarities

[Patrick]

...and why I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever read Harry Potter...

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.

In all truth, anything that helps people believe in magic is all right by me.

I have the same quirk
By the way 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.

Which is why I probably won't be going to homecoming, because everyone says it is so great... if someone here attended and thought it sucked, please pm me

Ok, I was just curious because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. In fact one french Harry Potter fan fiction has helped me with my awakening: "Les secrets d'Hermione" (1,200,000 words over 12 books). That's quite the fan fiction.
