How can they judge it if they have never tried it? humph.. don't know what they are missing!

What a boring life that person must be living....they're probably under a rock in mars to never even see the movie.

i love the quote...i mean, so what? Many books out there i havent read and movies i havent seen and I dont go discussing it. Who seriously cares?

Oh well. I agree ^^ who cares? It's their loss.

WTF-he shouldn't be allowed to even review/write that down!

I just really hate it when people judge harry potter based on the films without reading the books! I used to be a HP-hater until i bothered picking up a book.

Oh well his lost

My first thought was similar to other reactions..."So what?"

Actually, I totally understand where they're coming from. I tend to stay away from stuff that's over-hyped; luckily I wasn't paying too much attention to the hype when I first read it. While HP is worthy of its hype, sometimes overexposure ruins stuff. I can't blame 'em.

I can say the same about Twilight, so I'd hate to be hypocritical. Its all a matter of opinion.

I hate how people think that Harry Potter is just about brooms and waving a wand and having a British accent. It's so stupid. Well, that guy's missing out.

well that was pretty uninteresting...did the magazine have some free space in their new issue that they had to an article like that?

and its a bit sad that they actually put a quote from someone who has no idea what HP is about. Its not just a boy whos a wizard.

They haven't seen the movie???? Where have they been all decade???

oh and by the way, nice quote, MLK Jr!!!!

Hey calm down you guys. He's allowed to have an opinion.

That list is so stupid..... how can someone who's never read/seen any HP say if it's bad or not. The only people who can critique Harry Potter films are us, the beloved fans because we, um... know what we're talking about!!!?! I also saw that Lord of the Rings was on the list, which is also shocking! I am not very familiar with the story but I am not about to judge a movie I know is a box-office topper without knowing anything unlike someone......*ahem hem professor74*and yeah he [or she's] allowed to have an opinion I just don't understand why EW would chose to show that quote, or put HP on the list in the first place.

Whatever.... we know that HP is awesome and that's all that matters

O.O

Whoa.

That's just ... sad.

You should at least try to read the books or watch the movies before making a statement like that....

Oh well, it's his loss. HP is amazing

Okay, this time the phrase "don't judge a book by it's cover," is meant litterally. Not that the covers aren't totally awesome, but I can see them making people uninterested book.

His loss I guess.

and once again , i agree , "who cares?" O_o

fool.

Although the movies are well made, it's nothing like the book! JK really brings it out and no movie will do justice to her words. It's unfortunate that someone would judge a book or movie when they have not bothered to read or watch it.

To each his own, but let me know how life is living under that rock buddy.

What a jerk! You don't know what its like if you never tried it!

things that make you go hmmmm...

*eyes wide* Wow. Wow. I can't actually believe that someone judged HP as a verry childish book. They judged a book by its cover.

Poor HSM. I guess the reader who commented about it is an adult. They can never understand the magic of Disney, JKR or WB. (No offence to over-18 fans, but that's the way my mom thought until I made her read the books. Now she's a big fan of HP.) They simply said: "It's just a boring, fantasy thing made by childish people, not worthy to read." They stick too much to the ground and aren't able to dream, to hope, to see the magic right in front of their eyes.

That's pretty much just my idea.
