This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I only like the first three Harry Potter books, when Scabbers goes, so does the book having any credibility it seems.

People don't like Harry Potter for the story, so when it tries too be serious it falls apart. The part of Harry Potter people enjoy is the whimsy of the wizarding world, that's it.

You don’t speak for all people. No doubt what you said is true for some. My favorite books were 4 and 5.

Book 4 is great, but honestly, what is there to like about book 5? Nothing fucking happens in the entire thing. In my opinion it has always been the absolute worst of the series.

100% agree. It's just a huge slog of everything being terrible for Harry for the whole book. Absolutely the worst in the series.
