Today, my boyfriend finally convinced me to watch Harry Potter for the first time. I was bored out of my mind the entire time, and by about an hour in, all I could think about was how badly I wanted to punch Hermione for being a rude little know it all. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after months of being pestered to do so, I finally read the first Harry Potter book. I hated it. Upon hearing this, my girlfriend posted the fact on Facebook, where I immediately received tons of abuse and eventual shunning by my friends, family, and coworkers. My girlfriend just laughed. FML
Today, I went to see the new Harry Potter movie with my boyfriend. Feeling an intense need to pee, he decided to sacrifice a few minutes of the movie before the highly-anticipated final combat to get some relief. He went through the wrong door, locking himself out. Right until the end. FML
Today, I was watching Harry Potter. When all the students at Hogwarts started to clap at one point, I started clapping myself. FML
Today, stood in line for hours to see the new Harry Potter. Unfortunately, once inside the theater, I was stuck in the bathroom with the runs for the entire length of the movie. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had the worst fight of our relationship, and I’m not sure we’re going to make it. Why? Because out of all his hobbies and interests that I’ve happily joined in on, I said I had no interest in Harry Potter. FML
Today, I found out there's a Harry Potter club at my school. My boyfriend is in it. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I have never read any of the Harry Potter books. FML
Today, I sat through 9 gruelling hours of Star Wars with my boyfriend. I hate those movies with a passion and frankly would rather get a pap smear from Wolverine than watch them. Afterwards, he dumped me for yawning, saying that I didn’t take a “serious” interest in his favorite things. FML
Today, I had to do a "damage report" on myself after going to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter. As I was waiting for the previews, a 20 year old man dressed as a house elf tackled and wrestled me for my seat. FML
Today, I was going on a first date with a girl I really like. We were going to see the new Harry Potter movie, and she told me she was getting all dressed up. It was only after I picked her up I realized she meant that she was dressing nicely. I was dressed as Harry Potter. FML

Fun fact: In both movies and books, Hermione's smarts come in handy many times.

This. It's totally cool not to be into something your SO is (I love zombies, like love love zombie media, my GF definitely does NOT), but if your first reaction to an 11 year old being... well, 11... is to want to clock them, I'd be a little worried.

We all feel that way it's just something that you have to adjust to

The films are ment to target an older audience as they progress. Don't worry though it picks up after about film 7.

Problem is, I wouldn't want to sit through 7 movies waiting for it to "get good".

I don't even have words. If I were your boyfriend I think that your attitude would be a huge red flag.

It's just a feeling, not like she's going around decking kids. Some children are annoying. I think if you can control your behavior, you don't have to control your thoughts and feelings.

Of course, but if ALL you can think about while watching HP is that you want to punch a kid (sure maybe OP is being hyperbolic) that's a little scary...

you're taking things too literally. she's a main character who's on screen most of time. so if you don't like her while shes on screen youd be thinking that for most of the watch time... you're relationships must be built on thin ice if "I want to punch that fictional character" is enough to make you consider ending it.

what exactly do you have issue with? we can have individual opinions

When it comes to movies, music, and books we like what we like and somebody else isn’t going to change it. It’s certainly possible to be with someone who has different tastes in these things. Unfortunately people who are fans of one genre or series of movies just want to share their love of that with others. Generally, with the more popular movie series that have been out for a while - The people who haven’t seen them probably didn’t see them by choice. Those people are just not interested. You have to learn how to say “no” and you have to learn to accept that sometimes “no” is just the answer you have to live with. I love Star Wars, Lord of the Rings etc. - My wife does not. She loves light comedies, I am less of a fan of those. Some things we just don’t watch together. It’s OK to like different things.

I can proudly say I have never watched any of the Harry Potter movies, nor have I read any of the books. I'm no worse for it, either.

I dont watch every movie that comes out and its odd how many people react with anger when you say you havent watched a certain movie lol. i havent watched the first few Harry Potters but I watched a few of the later ones and enjoyed them. My wife said they were darker than the earlier ones
