It is now nearly 11p.m. BST, and amazon.co.uk still have not shipped my copy of the book. Fortunately, I got it form the library today, but it's the US version.

You can all bitch and moan as much as you want, there's no denying the fact that the books were written for children. It's pretty sad that you all have the absolute lack of anything resembling a life. Lets talk at your level shall we? Sucks to be you!

Just at a guess, I'd say that Madam Rowling doesn't really care who, specifically, reads them, so long as she makes another hundred mil.

No I'm just sick and tired of these little snobs who label "Harry Potter" as a 'children's book' and deride those who enjoy 'em. Y'know what? Tom Clancy's stuff is 'adult', which essentially means that its a technical manual with characters. What our little "I want an oak tree in my anus" friend fails to realize is that Harry Potter is not The Berenstein Bears with wizards, but rather a compelling series of stories with characters and situations more appealing, more "escapist" if you will, then what can usually be found in so-called 'adult' fiction.

Jeez calm down. Hit a sore spot didn't I? Feel free to indulge in your pleasure. I just think it's pretty sad. You need to take it a bit less seriously.

You coming in here saying that you think people who like Harry Potter are 'sad.' I think it's 'sad' that you don't have a life to the extent that you come in here to bash people who like Harry Potter. I think it's 'pretty sad that you have the absolute lack of anything resembling a life' giving you the time to wander into this forum and start talking trash.
I think it's a damn shame when you (I don't know if you're an adult or not) think you have the right to start talking about what people should or should not enjoy, and that you can determine who has a life and who doesn't based on that.
As a matter of fact, I DON'T have a life. I work two jobs 60-70 hours a week. During the school year, I go to school full time and work THREE jobs. I don't have TIME to have a life, and if you want to be a fucking asshole about what I choose to do with what very little and precious free time I have, that's abosofuckinglutely NOT fine with me, and you can come over and perform oral sex on me until your jaw is fucking rusted shut for all I care, but all I want to hear out of you is that, yes, you recognize you're a stupid shit, and yes, you won't bash Harry Potter and those who enjoy Harry Potter even if you personally don't, and, oh yes, you won't complain if the door smacks you in the ass on your way out.
FUCK MAN, can't you JUST FUCKING LET ME HAVE A LITTLE FUCKING ENJOYMENT EVERY NOW AND THEN WITHOUT COMING IN HERE GOING ALL "WOW LOOK AT ME I'M A RETARTED LITTLE FUCK BUT YOU LIKE HARRY POTTER SO I'M GOING TO BOOST MY SELF ESTEEM A LITTLE FUCKING BIT?"

By that same token, I suppose it's a damn shame that I watch X-Men Evolution, Futurama, Family Guy, Zoids, SpongeBob SquarePants, Kim Possible, and Zoids New Century Zero. After all, they're all cartoons aired on such epitomes of cable television such as Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney Channel.
So, how about we do this, aneurysm? We let those individuals who wish to discuss Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in peace, and you can take your comments and stuff them in the nearest rubbish bin.

Well, honestly, watching "X-Men: Evolution" and "Spongebob Squarepants" is rather sad...
But I jest (barely). To address the issue at hand... On one side, we have people who read literature which, perhaps, was targeted mainly at an audience slightly younger than themselves.
On the opposing side, we have someone who spends his time on an Internet science-fiction message board complaining about strangers' tastes in literature.
I'll leave it up to the reader to decide which side of the debate has found far too little productive outlet for its spare time.
