What a tard. Who agrees?

[Felldoh]

What a joke.

We're two for two.

That article could easily have been about Redwall too.

[KitsuneRose]

I get nothing but grief from my brother for reading Redwall and writing fanfiction, yet I get nothing for reading Harry Potter...

Anyway, that guy is full of it. There are so many things wrong with that article that I don't even know where to begin, so I just won't.

my mother loves those books, so does my sister! they're awesome! the person who wrote that is insane in a bad way! (in the future, when saying insane in a bad way, i'll write isiabw)
-lady blair :)

[Josiah the Warrior]

Wow. I just don't even how to respond to something that stupid.

[Aubretia]

Who was it that voted that this guy is NOT full of it? Come on, out with it. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Josiah the Warrior]

I think the best question that can be asked here is who is stupid enough to employ this moron and allow him to publish this garbage? :slagar But yeah, I'd like to know who voted no, of course that person could've just been playing Devils advocate....

[Aleisou Swiftpounce]

People are morons. Yeah, Mr Stein, you really have authority to decide what books people can read(!)

Well, I'll just have to hope the seventh Harry Potter comes out before April 24th next year, or I'm doomed to stupidity as an adult. :rolleyes:

Now excuse whilst I go and sit in my hole, plotting on his demise.

I do not care what is "age appropriate." I like what I like. I read what I like. The opinion of some insignifigant doesn't matter to me.

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being an adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. ~C.S. Lewis
