HP doesn't just stand for Hewlett Packard

So, when I say HP, of course I'm referring to Harry Potter. Last night I went and saw the new Harry Potter movie The Goblet of Fire. I'm not going to write any spoilers, so keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle. I'm not going to ruin it for anyone, so there's no reason to bail.

Okay, so I was boycotting Harry Potter - the books, the movies - everything. I can't help it, I'm naturally obtuse, so if anything is majorly popular, I have no interest in fuelling the fire. I totally dig culture that no one else likes. It's just my way. So, one evening I was put in a rather awkward situation and here was the dilemma; either I was to watch the first Harry Potter movie, or I was to perish in an argument I simply couldn't participate in. Really ugly dilemma. I hate losing. So, even though it was against my will, I succumbed and took crappy choice no. 1 and watched the Harry Potter movie.

I remember thinking that it wasn't as ultimately crappy as I anticipated it was going to be, and I could sympathize with the fans. The books were what really hooked me in, not that I'm a massive Harry Potter fan or anything. I just like the books and sorta like the movies. I'm not going to run out and write a load of generic fanfiction or anything. My interest does not extend that far. I was just de-lighted to read something that was guaranteed not to be loaded with smut. I really don't like smut. And I have no clue why there aren't ratings on books when they have a rating system for video games for pity sake.

Anyway, in conclusion, Harry Potter good, smut bad.
