I still like Harry Potter and don't blame people for still enjoying it, it's just too bad the writer sucks ass. Imo if you wanna still play Harry Potter games, or watch the movies, go pirate them. You get to enjoy the series without giving the writer money. Win-win imo.
Or buy them used, or have a friend bring them over, the possibilities are endless
I got the game from the library. Fun times, no money!
Library books aren't free. They are paid for by the library and the author gets a payment per lend (called Public Lending Rights). Not sure how it works for games, but I would be shocked if it's not a similar system.
Not for games, but for books you can just read them at the library. No lend, no payment.
Good point! There's still the initial payment, but that's absolutely minimal!
I still have that one song from Harry Potter Puppet Pals pop up in my head from time to time.
Neil Cicierega is a treasure.
I have never read Harry Potter, but I have held a slight resentment for it ever since the first movie. I had a similar, but not quite as bad, haircut as Harry and similar, but not quite as bad, eyeglasses as Harry at the time that the movie came out.
The last time I went out for Halloween, I went dressed as a samurai. Pretty authentically, in fact, with the hakama and haori and all but with the exception of having a bokken (wooden practice sword) instead of an actual katana. This was a couple of years later, I think.
Multiple people asked me if I was Harry Potter.
I could not express my disappointment.
I had so many people point at me and say "look, it's Harry potter" to their kids whenever a movie was in theater.
All I had was a scar and a bad haircut. No glasses at all.
If I were older, I'd definitely go out of my way to make them feel bad for pointing out something I was self conscious over like it's some kind of costume jewelry.
"Was"?
I think Hogwarts Legacy showed that there is no shortage of adult fans of Harry Potter (you know, a series of books written for literal children).
It's so cringe. Maybe try reading books meant for your age group.
Edit: Lol, you can downvote all you want but it doesn't change the fact that a significant portion of your identity is based on a series of mediocre children's novels.
Like, if you think those books are good, you should try actually reading something meant for your age group. It might blow your mind.
I tried reading HP when it was for my age group. Gave up half way through because of mounting little issues and getting increasingly disappointed by the ending and the increasing slog to get to it. The first book was fine, but Voldemort isn't a good reoccurring villain.
