Want to waste your time and your money? This is the book for you. by pinky2anne
Okay, so I was so excited about reading this book. I settled down on a rainy day with a blanket and a cup of tea, ready to be pulled into a magical wonderland. And then, two minutes later, the book was on the other side of the room. How did it get there? That’s what this review is all about.
I think there are three main problems with this book.
1. It’s saying the same thing again and again and again…and again and again! Maybe the first review is interesting, the second may be okay, but the third is just dreadful. Honestly, who wants to hear about how a eight year old would love to have a hippogriff and how a ten year old is going to name their new dog Harry Potter, and then read 300 more reviews that say the exact same thing?
2. The book is chock full of sexist remarks! Here’s one: “‘We hear more about Harry’s dad because he was killed fighting You-Know-Who. His father was fighting You-Know-Who because men are more brave’”. What time are we living in, the turn of the century?
3. In addition to the endless repetition and sexist comments, the compilers of this book failed to include true facts. A whole chapter is dedicated to predicting what kind of spell Harry’s parents were put under when they were supposed to have been killed. Did these people actually read the books?
To all of those who have fragile things in their houses and don’t want to break something when they throw this book across the room, I warn you…
DO NOT WASTE TIME OR MONEY ON THIS BOOK!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Dullness by Anna Marissa
If you’re interested in studying the Harry Potter fandom,”We love Harry Potter!” is NOT the place to start. Instead of providing a fun and insightful look at Harry Potter fandom-with its fusion of fairy tales,fanaticism,and financial savvy–it can be summed up in a couple of ways. 75 kids (very young ones at that,not a cross-section),basically say-
1)Harry Potter is cool.
2)I wish I could work magic! These are my favorite spells…(list)
3)Ron and/or Hermione are so cool.
4)Snape is mean.
5)Voldemort is scary.
6)I like Dumbledore.
Harry Potter fandom DOES deserve a better study. There are female fans who claim to have married Severus Snape on the astral plane (yes,Snapes on a Plane!),Mary-Suethors who write of American&Australian transfer students romancing the boy wizard,devoted Wiccans who find Harry Potter a way of gaining social acceptance,churches that use Harry Potter stories to evangelize,as well as the whole slash fiction fandom,that pairs Harry Potter amorously with his nemesis Draco or Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. The recent Internet kerfuffle over JK Rowling’s “Dumbledore is queer” revelation provides more insight on the Harry Potter fandom than this boring boring book. “We love Harry Potter!” makes one thankful there aren’t cheesy and cliched follow-ups such as “We love Frodo!” and “We love Aslan!” This is a prefab book…nothing more to see..
Great addition to the Potter books! by Tamera England
Though this book isn’t a Harry Potter story, it is very neat and interesting to read. I just love seeing how my kids and other kids feel about the series!
A Terrible Waste of Time by Theatre Kidd
If it was possible, I’d give this book a zero. It was a complete waste of time!
Most of the book consisted of pointless letters from children seven and under to who knows who and said things like “I love Harry. Snape is mean. Harry is nice.” over and over again. The editor’s comments on the letter that were supposed to clarify it for the people who haven’t read the book usually just restated what the letter said- I doubt seriously that Moore read the books herself.
A lot of the information in the kids’ letters were fraudulent as well- some made comments about teachers called “Madame Pooch” and made comments about “Filch’s cat having to die”. The sections after that were just as worse, consisting of “what we want to be in the Harry Potter books”, playing Quidditch on the ground, and other stuff that was even more boring… a terrible book. Don’t waste your money.
