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'm actually relieved to see somebody else like this. Personally, I'm not a big Harry Potter fan myself. *Recieves insults*

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan but won't go and bash someone who dislike it. Your folks have got issues.

People are idiots - everybody has different tastes. ... we should really nuke the planet.

Undeserved. /: . Personally I loved reading Harry Potter, but it obviously can't be for EVERYONE. I mean, props to you for actually reading it, right?

You don't deserve that, at least you read it before deciding. The only people I think who should have that type of abuse thrown at them for not liking Harry Potter are the people who don't like it but refuse to try because "it's witchcraft and against the bible". I commend you for trying it first before deciding you don't like it instead of letting ignorance and blind faith guide your opinions.

Hey bubba, no worries. I don't like them either. They're over-hyped, and the people who began to get on your case are just nutters. (No offense to your girlfriend.)

Hey it could be worse. It could've been 50 Shades or Twilight.

I liked Harry Potter alot. That being said, you shouldn't be forced into reading it. Lots and lots of butthurt people on this site, just like anywhere though. Good for you, not giving into peer pressure to say you like something.
