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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I have never read any of the Harry Potter books. FML
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
Today, my daughter turned 11. Since she LOVES Harry Potter, I decided to write her an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. When she saw the letter, she screamed and showed me. When she found out I wrote it, she told me she hated me, started crying, and stepped on my foot. 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, my "friend" told me I was weird and irritating. Yet she has an unhealthy obsession with Harry Potter, hates people in general, and has a Facebook for her cat. Yeah, I'm the weird one. FML
Today, my brother-in-law brought his new girlfriend over to meet the family. Things went south real quick after she went on a tirade about what terrible parents my wife and I are for letting our kids keep all their Harry Potter memorabilia. Now he’s mad I threw her out. FML
Today, I saw my first FML I published on Facebook. Everyone was bashing me, thinking that I was the problem and the cause for my ex-boyfriend wanting to do his own thing. I used to sit in his room being ignored for days straight while he gamed. Not once did I bitch about his gaming. FML
Today, my daughter wouldn't stop yapping on about not being able to register on the new Harry Potter website. The amount of whiny jibber-jabber emanating from her cake-hole made me want to boot her from our family tree, and I had to resort to booze to wash the pain away. I'm a terrible parent. FML
Today, I found out there's a Harry Potter club at my school. My boyfriend is in it. FML
Today, It's been a few months since I started reading the Harry Potter books to my daughter. She told me a list of all her favorite characters. I didn't have the heart to tell her that every single one of them dies by the end of the seventh book. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You're not alone! I (and apparently several others on here) dislike the Harry Potter books too. What your family and friends did is really unbelievably immature. If I found out my best friend or family member didn't like my favorite book I wouldn't give a care. It's YOUR opinion which YOU are entitled to.

Well, did you blare the fact you hated it or were you casual about it? I don't really care when people hate or dislike things, it's just when the feel the need to tell the world that they thay the things that grinds my own.

Just shrug them off, flip them off, and say something to annoy them like "Hunger Games bitches" Then walk out epicly in slow motion.

It'd be amazing if all or most of the people that gave him heat about it never read the actual book, and not surprising. I myself never read the books, I'm more of a Percy Jackson fan :)

Lol. I'm laughing more at the Hypocrisy of the HP fans. They act so offended when someone says an opinion as simple as they don't like the books. But then they turn around and see no harm in talking crap about other books and fans of other books. They are seriously vicious and not in a good way. In a crazy vicious way. Just from observing they are the crazy over obsessive fans not other fans of other things, unlike what you might here. And the sad truth is this this will probably be drowned in dislikes. But its the truth and you can't stop me from saying it
