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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

So you're getting shunned for having an opinion of your own? Shit, the people you know are assholes!

I would say that the first two books are really sort of like stand alone adventures and, in my opinion, the most "meh" of the series by far. It's not until book 3, "Prisoner of Azkaban" that things really start to get interesting and the universe and lore start to form into its own entity.

shunning? Haha don't be so dramatic, I'm sure they just see you as a hipster now and most of that abuse was pure humor/banter. Nobody is going to seriously shun you for not liking a franchise. (If it makes you feel any better you're not alone)

I don't like Harry potter either. The books are written well, but they just aren't for me!

These are the reasons I've lost faith in humanity... Seriously, everyone have the right to have their own opinion about everything. They don't have to like something that the "majority" likes. Bloody losers...

i didnt think anything much of harry potter until the 4th book. i dont think it deserves the hype it did but i enjoyed reading them. i havnt however read them again which is a bit of a bad sign in a book.
