I was like that before I read The HG series :lol:

anyway I don t think it s an unpopular opinion, it s more a random thought :lol:
What if we choose to exist in a reality of our own making, does that render us insane, and if so, isn't that better than a life of despair?

Harry Potter was central to my childhood and I doubt anything could ever replace it. The world of Harry Potter is so well thought out and so detailed that it all sounds so plausible. I'm sure many kids feel slightly disappointed when they don't receive an offer to go to Hogwarts on their 11th birthday.

The characters are so emotive and the story itself is so interconnected and intricately woven and uugh I could just go on.
I agree completely. I was obsessed with those books. I read them out in a little under two weeks and I stayed up until seven in the morning finishing up The Deathly Hallows because I just couldn't fall asleep not knowing how the story ended. I love the books more than anything else in this world. The story was so well-written that I truly felt like a part of Hogwarts and I connected with all of the characters. Even though Hermione was and shall always be my fave, I think Snape, objectively, is the best character.

I'm excited to read The Hunger Games and will do so as soon the guy who borrowed it from the library returns it but since HP everything I've read seems second-rate. :lol:

Andrew Garfield's Spiderman >>>>>>>>> Tobey Maguire's Spiderman

I had a crush on Tobey after Pleasantville, but then every other movie I ever saw him in, barring Brothers, had him playing pretty much the same character. Andrew's Spidey makes you completely forget he's the same guy from Social Network.

I think this is definitely not an unpopular opinion. There's just so much more imagination in it and, although HG is brilliant, Harry Potter will never be beaten in my eyes.

The majority of people who I've spoken to that have seen the new Spiderman film agree that Garfield is better. I'd probably rank Garfield as one of my favourite actors - he always delivers (from Boy A to Social Network to Never Let Me Go especially).

But I've seen a LOT of people who adored the Raimi/Maguire movies who think Garfield sucked. I guess it'll be like the Batman thing.... Burton/Keaton fans usually hate the Nolan films, and Nolan fans hate everything pre-Batman Begins.

Am I the only one who finds Andre Garfield insanely HOT/HANDSOME/SEXY? :o :o

He's my ultimate celebrity crush and I think Emma Stone is perfect for him!

Not only Garfield is extremley hot, but he has REAL talent!!

He is such a talented actor, and he creates great characters. I'm still pissed Academy snubed him for his performance in "The Social Network" :evil:

Agreed! I just mentioned to John the other day how amazing Andrew was in "The Social Network" - easily the best actor in the film.

It seems like these are unpopular opinions for some reason:

- I don't care if Victoria Beckham chooses not to smile.
- I don't think she's miserable or a bitch because we never see her smile.
- I think Victoria Beckham has the right to choose whether she wants to smile or not. I don't think she should have to smile 24/7 for the paparazzi if she doesn't want to.

Oh yes, though I don't think he photographs very well but looks great in action.

I've never read a Harry Potter book, I've never read a Lord of the Rings book or watched one of a LOTR film, and I've never seen a Star Wars movie.

And I don't even care - am I really missing anything?!

No. I don't mind them but both series are hyped to the heavens. Can't comment on the books really though, just some of the films. :wink:

I don't know about the other two but Harry Potter is more than just magic. It's about true friendship and overall just an epic juicy story full of everything (it's so complete with well rounded characters!) It's one of my favourite book series ever.JK Rowling is a very fine author. But yeah HP is like so sweet and dark all at once. The films do not do justice to the books one bit but they are amazing. The books are jsut way more amazing :P

I'd say you are. I can't express enough how much better the Harry Potter books are than the movies. The Lord of the Rings movies are worthy of the word 'epic'. The books aren't to everyone's taste and can be difficult to read for some.
Star Wars is... okay.
