       @jepyang Geez, people here commenting about Harry Potter who haven't even read one HP book. They are great fantasy and world-building. Not mean-spirited either. That's just a way to deliberately misunderstand them. Just separate the author and their work. Not that difficult. That said, not listening to Michael Jackson ever again. No reason to start claiming his music is shit, though...

       @markrussell @jepyang > They are great fantasy and world-building.Olay, I'll bite.Just how many fantasy books have you read BEFORE harry potter?Have you real Tolkien, or CS Lewis? Have you even played one dungeons and dragons game? Have you taken a look at the first Monstruous Manual? Have you even read Homer's Odyssey? Or at least watched any 20th century fantasy movie, say, Clash of the Titans?There is barely a single original thing in Harry Potter. Furthermore, it's like she took all the mythical / fantasy elements she could find and put them in a blender without any consideration for consistency.And don't get me started on the Jewish stereotype for the goblin bankers.JK's work is not as brilliant as you think. It's mediocre at best, but your ignorance puts her in a pedestal because you just don't know shit.Your enthusiasm for her works sounds like a 14yo fanboy offended that someone is thrashing their favorite author.Do yourself a favor, and read other authors' works.
