I did it under the premise that my mom basically made it an obligation that I go with her to see Half Blood Prince because she doesn't spend time with her children locked up in their rooms on their computers. So I refused to watch it without seeing the others. The happy thing about it is that I enjoyed it. Very much so. Yop yop.

It's cool. There are worse things to like than Harry Potter.

..just don't start writing fanfiction for it and you'll be fine.

You don't begin to -fathom- the extent of Harry Potter fanfic's black hole of madness if you haven't read the one where Hermione gets fucked by Draco in the nose. Literally.

Why would we

Just knowing it exists is enough *runs far far away*

You don't know madness until you experience it. There was also this fanfic with Remus Lupin the Prostitute...

I prefer a less mind-scarring method for giving the recommendation to avoid HP fanfiction...

But now hopefully she won't need to be told again... >.>;;

I'll stop at Remus X Snape/Sirius/Harry's dad.

Edit: Not all at once >_>

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #632 on:** October 30, 2009, 04:55:52 AM »

I'm pretty sure there's fic of that orgy with all of them anyway. If she were wise, though, she'd have stopped at the books, Djinn.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #633 on:** October 30, 2009, 04:59:49 AM »

I was talking about Idun, who I don't think has read the books and only watched the movies to go see the latest one in theatres with her mum?

CT, however... Shame on you for reading HP fanfiction, you'll just encourage them. You don't want them to think they're -people-, do you?

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #634 on:** October 30, 2009, 05:02:41 AM »

But if she doesn't read the HarryxSnape MPreg, how can we ensure she's scarred for life?!

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #635 on:** October 30, 2009, 05:05:10 AM »

Plus, the more insanity we put her through, the more entertaining the innocence facade gets.

I don't think I'll be looking up any fan fiction really. Ever. I. Hm. I don't think I've read any fan fiction besides ONE which has deterred me from fan fiction as a medium that allows fans to their physical sexual desires for inanimate things into more intimacy. That said, it was a Fran and Balthier fan fic I went in with no apprehensions about and really had nothing to say but "wow" after.

I did see a lot of satires about Severus Snape's voice, like the Family Guy clip. It's unfortunate, because his voice is fucking awesome.

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #638 on:** October 30, 2009, 05:26:59 AM »

I've only read a couple of HP >_> No Snow/CK horror stories ^_^

Snow ;_;

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #639 on:** October 30, 2009, 05:33:45 AM »

Oh, I've never read much fanfic. Well, discounting professional grade Star Wars fanfic. I've just been told that SnapexHarry MPreg is a relatively common variation.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #640 on:** October 30, 2009, 05:55:11 AM »

You know... there's a lot of fanfiction out there that ISN'T sex-driven. Occasionally it's even entertaining on some level if you have time to waste. And for RPGs in particular... it's not like someone has to be that skilled of an author to live up to the original's standards...

That said, finding something of even comparable quality is few and far between and I don't recommend it as the search for it can desensitize you down to -my- levels.

I've never actually -read- HP fanfiction, so I can't speak on that particular pit of rabid fangirls, but I imagine it's like taking the anime yaoi fangirl population and multiplying it by millions of readers who've never dealt with any other kind of fanfiction. Second-hand horror stories like Snow's probably aren't even the worst of it.

They need to make a Harry Potter spin-off of this. Best Harry Potter fanfiction evar!

I think FFT fanfiction is fine, just don't click anything that sounds bad. Most of the time you can tell in the title/abstract.

Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone -5/5
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - 4/5
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - 3/5
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - 4/5
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 4/5
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - 5/5

Nice, that's pretty much exactly how I would rank them. Well, I might put Azkaban even lower, the book is about a billion times better.

Sierra · « **Reply #646 on:** October 30, 2009, 11:17:01 PM »

And yet it's about the reverse of the order I would choose. Azkaban's easily the best to me and the Chris Columbus movies (first two) are just a mess.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #647 on:** October 31, 2009, 12:04:55 AM »

Wait, does that mean it's worth me watching the rest of the films? I watched the first two, hated them completely (Hey, did you guys even bother learning to act?) and haven't bothered watching the rest.

Oh, and OK, do you realise that My Immortal has been published now? Clearly, you should go buy as many copies as possible and make it a best-selling book.

Shale · « **Reply #648 on:** October 31, 2009, 12:16:43 AM »

Azkaban had better acting than the first two, the script was just so cut up to fit in a watchable timespan that it made no damn sense.

I agree, but the script was mostly fine to me. Just the most important scene (Shrieking Shack) was a bit rushed and needed to be a few minutes longer to fully explain everything. Otherwise, the movie was great and easily the best one so far.

EDIT: Although Kenneth Branaugh as Gilderoy Lockehart was the best casting of all of them by far.
