JK Rowling Apologizes For Killing Snape

@PrpleTrtleBuBum: LOL!!

@Legend_of_Link: Darth Vader is Luke's father.

In reality, he is a scorpion in disguise.

@TenraiSenshi: You need to get our yourself. You're a joke.

@SwatterXX: The only thing more cringey than that is quoting the member berries, probably the lamest and most cringe worthy thing South Park has ever done

@SwatterXX:

So salty. Her books made her a billion dollars so I'm sure she's content with how things are going these days.

@DARREN636: why apologize for a good film?

@Doomerang: It's the dickest of moves because your only real defense against title spoilers is to not visit the site anymore. This is the second time in a week that they've ruined a movie for me.

@Doomerang: -Mara was here-

@pack_l3ader: read The Name of The Wind . It will be one of the best fantasy books you will ever read.

@pack_l3ader: That's maybe a positive. Try something else dude. Harry Potter has 5 thousand pages of nothingness, there is no literary valour, zero. Maybe cheap entertainment, but with the limitless potential of the internet, why waste time with a insipid book?

@pack_l3ader: Vader is Luke's father.

@gleencross: I remember going through that phase, where I felt I had discovered true art and knew that everything I had once loved was inferior. For me it was music, but a form of that sentiment exists in every medium. The good news is that you'll probably grow out of it.

@gleencross: Kids will continue to be fooled and enjoy those books regardless of your personal opinion. You are forgetting that this book is written for a target audience. Everyone gets older and learns of new experiences and books you may have read in the past may no longer be as relevant to you as they used to be. Its way too easy to bash something and write it of as simpleton writing. You are probably better of spending your energy on new experiences instead of looking back in such a sour fashion.

@gleencross: You sound like you're in your late teens early 20s. Once you've (legitimately) matured you'll recognize and appreciate simpler but well crafted stories like Harry Potter for what they are, without feeling the need to disparage them to feel cool and edgy.

I liked the Goosebumps series when I was a kid, but I don't look back and feel ashamed or feel the need to disparage them because I've matured and advanced sooooo much as a reader and how could anyone possibly be entertained by its simpleton and overrated writing. I recognize and appreciate them for what they are and move on with my life.

When you become an actual adult, not just a legal aged one, you'll understand what I'm telling you, and that shame you feel for ever having enjoyed Harry Potter will be how you feel about the douchey attitude you display with comments like this.

@gleencross: Oh, so we're doing that thing now where we try and impress everyone else with our "superior tastes", over the topic of magical children's stories? Calling it crap is utter nonsense - you're speaking as if Harry Potter was meant to be some deep, revolutionary work of fiction, when all it was ever meant to be was simple entertainment, and that it succeeded at being, unquestionably. If it was a series that succeeded in capturing the minds and imaginations of young readers and adult alike, in a world full of similar stories to choose from, then it clearly has merit. Your stuck-up attitude is utterly subjective, and I say this as someone who doesn't even care much for the series. The likes of Steven King have even called JK Rowling their favourite author, so please, go ride your high horse somewhere else where you can be "so deeply ashamed" for having liked something that actually is pretty damn good. Seeing people try to act as smarmy and holier-than-thou over these things is repelling. Let people have their fun.
