Why does it bother you?
If people want more HP universe flicks, they can have them.

Harry Potter should be banned and JK Rowling thrown in prison. They CANNOT be allowed to have them.

It's a capitalism, friend. Unless it's hurting someone, you have no grounds to ban it.
Is Harry Potter hurting you?
>>9615272
Capitalism is the foundation of the peak degeneracy we see today, appealing to it as a god is ridiculous and disgusting. Perhaps it's better to promote it as a cancer, seeing as it may be inextricable from our society save in death.

It's hurting the ability of newer and even more enjoyable media from reaching the masses.
monopoly =/= capitalism

I agree, it seriously needs to go stretch its legs
You guys remind me of that time when that Dimmu Borgir album came out and every BM fan on /mu/ went batshit.

>Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
>It was a powerful statement, if notably hyperbolic. (Voldemort was a literal mass-murderer; Trump is not. Voldemort was a powerful dark wizard; Trump is just a Muggle.) But a forthcoming study from the journal PS: Political Science and Politics makes a better case for how lessons learned from fiction can influence people’s political preferences. The researcher Diana Mutz, a professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, found that Harry Potter book readers are actually more inclined to dislike Trump. This was the case even after Mutz controlled for variables such as age, education, gender, party identification, evangelical identification, and ideology.

Are you trying to say that Harry Potter is good literature?
