>hates Harry Potter >loves James Bond What gives?

Is that true

probably >muh nostalgia

If James Potter is Harry's dad, is Harry Bond James' son?

>>8405034
yeah, probably nostalgia

however, james bond is good for genre fiction. harry potter is garbage even for genre fiction - forming an entire sewage system below genre fiction, namely YA.

Why does he always look like he's in constant pain?

>nostalgia defense

Roland Barthes wrote about the James Bond novels in Death of the Author. James Bond has, since the beginning, been a crossover between "low-brow" culture and "high-brow".

But I think the problem in Harry Potter lies in how seriously people take it, and how seriously people think that it's "good" for their children to read it. There's this dangerous facade that it's okay to read Harry Potter, while it's not. James Bond novels, much like the early James Bond movies, have a "funny" and sarcastic tone to them. Someone who reads Harry Potter fanatically might try to defend aspects of it as having literary worth, while anyone who reads James Bond novels knows it's all in good fun. It's more up-front about its intent.

I want to add that the Daniel Craig Bond movies have bastardized the fun satirical nature of the figure of James Bond.
