Why did they disliked the idea of letting harry go to hogwarts

I still don't know why Vernon hated wizards so much. Petunia hated them, because her sister was wizard and she envied her powers. But Vernon probably didn't even know about wizard world until he married Petunia.

He was a cute kid with a large gaping asshole
would you be willing to give that up?

>they didn't have to pay
They weren't aware of that at first
He was still different

Did you actually expect anything more from the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. 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.

He met Harry's dad once, who was ostentatious and massive snob about muggles. He's also obsessed being normal, and therefore hated wizards and magic because it was abnormal.

Something something dullest franchise

Because some people just discard everything that's at least one bit weird

I'm pretty sure Vernon is just supposed to be the stereotypical old school Brit, and detests any funny business

Most likely because letting him go to Hogwarts would mean they'd be responsible for one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others.

Because he was a biggot that hated anything that didn't fall under his definition of normal. Same reason so many bigots react so strongly to trans people (all the bathroom bill BS) despite likely never taking the time to get to know anyone who's trans.
