We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

You shouldn't even be reading used copies of HP. It isn't very good. There's way better ones out there. I recommend "His Dark Materials" for starters.

Alcatraz Vs The Evil Librarians has more of a similar feel to the first three books, whereas His Dark Materials feels more like the later HP books

I don't know what the later HP books are like. I bailed after the second or third time Harry lost a positive father figure. That wasn't the only reason I gave up, but I didn't feel like they were worth the slog to get though anymore.

Yeah, those books are better, but have you read his new series? Shockingly bad, I waited so long for them and I wish he'd never written them.
