I wonder why I still read this stuff
Aug. 23rd, 2010 02:29 pmDear certain sectors of the Harry Potter fandom:
The Harry Potter books are a coming of age story.
Reading a coming of age story and complaining because children/teenagers solve problems instead of adults is like watching an action movie and complaining because the hero solves problems instead of letting professionals do it according to protocol.
No love,
Me
Also, flist, remind me to write a huge Why I Love Albus Dumbledore post one of these days.
(Next on "people who make Laurus rant": fans who complain because an '80s cartoon made to sell toys feels like an '80s cartoon made to sell toys.)
tl;dr I tend to be a Doylist and that makes my life so much happier.
