Liking HP is not a big deal..
In my school those hp lover love gather and talk about thos stuffs but actually the ones who read them have much knowledge
They're quite clever and not a freak
wato
I hide the fact I like Harry Potter to most people because I've seen people bullied because they do but when no one is paying attemtion I talk to them about it.

Shucks, People have never TEASED me about liking HP, Its their ill-luck that they don't read it. MILLIONS of people ARE MAD about the series....And even if they do, I surely have a few words or Spankings back!
Yeh, my firends HAVE got bugged of playing HP chains though!
LordThingy
Yeah, I've been teased a couple of times but it was laways in a friendly way. But I've also trained myself to let people's words go in one ear and out the other. 350.gif
aliyah
no one's teased me for liking Harry Potter.its a well known fact that i do! my friens call me Cho but thats only cuz i've asked them to.
neiser
People tease you? Seriously? Have you cursed them?

I get bugged at work, because I'm such a Potter Geek (and proud of it!). But nothing seriously. That's just pathetic to the abuser.

I agree with dain bramaged. They dont know the great fantasy. They dont know the fun reading them, When I read it I collapse with the story as if I am apart of it. Like when dumbledore died, I criedand it isn't a lie that I cried

My friend, airin(tom2me) was a clever girl and have several times been the champion in our standard... She's clever but she's also a Potter Freak!! You see that...
R.D.T.Girl
I have been teased loads of times but it never bothers me. All my friends are HP geeks. We actually call one another by who we look the closest to. For me it's Hermione or Ginny.
Trinity
yup i get teased for it all the time...my friends, and even my mom bothers me about it, but i know its all in fun..but its not nice..lol..i say yes i am a nerd..haha...but i like these kinda books no matter what...LOL
tazzy
all my friends know that i love hp n sumtimes they start vteasing everyone that likes hp..but they never rly do tease me cuz they know that they mite get burried alive if they make fun of me lol
bri
yeah i have been teased because of liking hp but not by friends just by people at school, my friends totally support me about hp they even come to see the mvies with me the first day the come out and even accept me telling them to shut up if they have read a part o the book that i am not up to.
i just think they are jelous because they cant really get in to books as well as some can.

i totally agree with you that people are just jealous, it's not our fault that hp happens to be what we like the best. rolleyes.gif .

my cousins and my sibilings pick on me but I tell them to leave me alone and that they're just jelous because HP Rocks and they don't.
hyper hermy

Oh dont feel down Carlo. Were all your friends here.


No I haven't been teased much apart from my older brother who is always teasing me about me liking the HP books. I'm home schooled by the way.
dark_timesharry77
MY brother teases me...... but not a lot though
Terni
Well it's just my brother who teased me for reading HP. But after my brother went to see the Philosopher's stone movie (his friend persuaded him to come along) and after that he asked if he could loan my books to read them himself. laugh.gif

awe i feel so sorry for you. Only if i could meet these people at your school, cause i would show them who they are messing with...an obsessed Harry Potter fan, that would hex them if i could! try and stick up for yourself mate.
Hp Argentinian's fan
Well What can I say? Most people who know me don't tease me because I am a fan of HP. Perhaps my brother sometimes tease me when he see me watching the film over and over again. rolleyes.gif
Sunny
Actually nobody has ever teased me because I like Harry Potter, my brother is an exception because he actually read Harry Potter too and can understand what I like about the series (he just teases me because he's got noting better to do, silly boy ...) and seeing as I am no freak who has twenty posters of Daniel Radcliffe (anyway I have an affection for the Malfoys tongue.gif ) and keeps kissing them frantically nobody really has any reason to make fun of me.
hyper hermy
who cares if they dont like harry potter they can just die. screw them.
and carlo kannewasser, just avada kedavra them. i would. but then again, im a weirdo. and like every one else said, we're your friends.so ferget them.yah i bet theyre just jealous. now that theyve officially said that harry potter sux, they cant turn around and be like actually i like harry potter, cuz itll make them look like FOOLS, BLIND FOOLS!and theyll be all, im so sorry, and you can be all like, screw you, you made my life at school hell. well i would do that. but youre not a wierdo like me. you might just be a nice forgiving person.unlike me. but oh well, you got us and that one teacher you were talking about, and family. i mean like theyre all like (to me) geez youre so weird. and im all why? and theyre like you like harry potter. and im like screw you. i mean, they dont like me, i dont like them. oh well. mad.gif huh.gif ohmy.gif laugh.gif biggrin.gif
Angel84
Yup, but I just handed them a book and said "read it and if you still don't like it then fair enough." I hate it when people say they hate something they haven't even tried. It worked though becuase absolutely everyone I did that to has loved the book and has borrowed all the others off me.

I WILL convert the world w00t.gif

That sounds just like my brother... Although my brother still teases me... even though he's read all the books and the watched all the films.

Its odd. I have been bullied for nearly everything in my life at school, but Harry Potter is something no ones bullied me for!! Although no one knows how much I like it because I have been bullied so much I hide who I am at school... Everyone thinks I'm as quiet as a mouse.... woops.

Why Kerry? Why hide who you are just because someone may not accept you? That is totally what peer pressure is all about! You need to come out...we know your not a quiet mouse...then why try being one? Come on Ker...you gotta show them what you stand for..there's nothing wrong about liking harry potter..we all stand by that...then why be afraid?
These people make me really angry..how can you just say that Harry Potter sucks? How can you claim that liking Harry Potter is dumb or whatever? Its irritating how some people term us Potter fans "dumb" or "stupid"...some of their likings may not be same as us too!

Its not that its Harry Potter. I do it for everything... I just hide everything about me... Its funny how people can see you as something, and think they know you and yet know nothing about you.... I'm not afraid... I just don't see the point. I mean at the moment i'm not bullied... and I'm happy. No one notices me and thats how I like it... And next years a really important year and I don't want to be bullied through it all again... Though knowing my luck I will be anyway....

I agree with you.. I don't understand how someone can someone can say something sucks before they try it.... Everyone I know is like that... Theres about three people who know I like Harry Potter, and off them three they can't understand why...

Sometimes I do ask myself why I just don't go on about Harry Potter, and The Snitch to everyone... but then, its so specail to me... Its the thing that's got me through so much in my life.... And I guess I don't want others invading it... Like its my place I can let go and be myself... And not hide anything... I can be free... And I don't want them two worlds coliding I guess... *shrugs*

Hmm... so this is a way of keeping yourself calm? Or tension free? I dunno... people are soo mean about stuff nowadays!

SRy... I'm a bit depressed today :sad:

I do that as well, but I have two friends that are almost as bad as me ( I'm a HP freak tongue.gif ). They are in an other class and no one in my class know really that I love it so much. I mean, they know I've read the books, but... biggrin.gif
gryffindor_teacher
I was teased by my younger sister. She saw part of POA and said that it was strange, the Whomping Willow, a tree that could bash things out of the way and hippogriffs - she had no idea what they were. I called her a Muggle. I don't think she knew what that was smile.gif
neiser
Not really, because I'm quirky to begin with, but when I mention that I take part in a forum discussing the topics and events that have occured and speculations of what will occure then the comments come flying!
Quixotic89
I get teased by my parents, but I could care less. I also get teased by a close friend, but that's sarcasticly...nothing serious. She always says I need help. I have a few other close friends who are as crazy about HP as I am, but otherwise people either don't know I like HP or just accept it.
Stephen
I get teased by My parents, my Brothers, and my Girlfriend. wink.gif
She thinks that its gone to the point of a obsession.

Even My two best friends tease me at times; even though they are HP fans as well.

Just not as big as me. happy.gif
dain bramaged
Well one of my bestie is into Harry Potter, but well not in love like me... I mean she gets the book the day it releases and all, but HELLO!
Oh and the other two, they don't even read. Detest it infact. *sticks out tongue*
Anya128
Well, I don't parade the fact that I'm in to Harry Potter, so lot's of people don't know. But I have been teased by some idiotic people... once, a while ago I asked someone for a marker (after being told to by my teacher) and she looked at me weird.

So yeah... most people at school are dumb.

Your friend doesn't exactly sound like a friend! but i suppose some of my friends call me weird for liking harry potter. but i just tell them to get stuffed biggrin.gif
aashna
Well its not a new thing Its just uncountable times that I heve been teased. I hardly pay attention to these things 4tunately there r many HP fans in my school so I am ok with this teasing business. I like everything about Hp and nothing can stop me liking it.[i] smile.gif
reed44
aashna,

Please go reread our forum rules. We do not allow Kewl talk here on the snitch. Many of our members have English as their second language and when you write things like "4tunately" and "r" it is hard for some members to understand you.

No one knows that I like Harry Potter as much as I do but my Grandmom haha. Shes the one who buys me all this Harry Potter stuff like wands and books etc. But yeah, most of the people that like Harry Potter at my school are weirdo gothic freaks. I know they're nice people but at my school they're viewed as freaks. So yeah, Im not going to tell anyone I like HP. End of story biggrin.gif
Hermione666
The only person I can think of that has ever teased me about liking HP is my brother. That is only cause he doesn't like it. He thinks it's stupid, childish, and that JK stole the story from someone else. He won't read the books or watch any of the movies. He is just an idiot and a moron who thinks that HP isn't worth his time. I still like it and he can't change my mind about it one bit.
Karl
Yeah I used to when I was just starting off secondery school. But then it died down a bit after other people started to read them, I think they liked them, but they have never said. But I remember when OOTP came out and I was reading it in school, I think it had only been out a day or so and I was reading it and was nearly finished and people were like, "he can't be there already, watch how he goes home then goes to the front of the book to find his place" but . . . you know I just ignored it and it died down lol. Anywhoo . . before I confuse and get you all bored, I is going to stop! hehe

People tease me coz im a hp freak somtimes my best friend does
Hollycat
Robin (Mr H) keeps taking the p*** out of my new Harry Potter phone cover. Actually, he's also taking the p*** out of the phone as well I think. But it still works - even though I dropped it down the toilet last week.
Karl
ohmy.gif Oh how did you manage tyo drop your phone down the toilet? Hmmm lol. My mum dropped one of her mobile phones in her tea the other day. lol. I have bad luck with phones I always drop them, throw them or loose them. lol anyways I'm going off topic . . . . .

I think people are just jealous that we know about Harry Potter, we have loads in common with Harry Potter and have you noticed the people that tease are the people that haven't read the books or tried to, and they are usually on their own when they say it as their friends probably like the books too. If you get me?????

Anywhoooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

ZANELLI POTTER
I've been teased a lot about me liking Harry Potter, specially by a girl that always tells me I'm being childish just because I like it. but many of my friends and knowns have teased me once, but many of them have learned to respect that I like so much Harry Potter and Fantasy.

Because of this, I'm starting to think that people who tease others because of what they like, are not open mind and in my opinion, they don't deserve attention because their mind is so small that allows not knowledge, In this life, you have to know something about everything and you have to be open to learn something from the others.

well, their lose our gain. I just don't talk about Harry Potter with everyone.

(sorry for my english, it's been so long since I've been practicing it, hope you understand my message.)
larrypotter
Am I teased about liking Harry Potter?

Constantly!!! It doesn't faze me... I tell them that next to JKR, Shakespeare, Twain, Melville, and all those wanna-be's are hacks!

Just kidding. Many people I know, though, think it is odd that a 35-year-old likes these books. One thing I've noticed is that many of the doubters have seen the movies (or PART of the movies) and not read the books. The movies are... okay, but I can see why, if you've only seen the films, you wouldn't understand. Read the books, people!
Nagini
Well the fact that I am 30 years old means I do get teased for liking Harry Potter, especially by those who have never read the books.

The fact that I like Harry Potter so much means I also get teased from other Potter fans such as those I work with. But who do they come to when they want to know released dates etc? Yep - me. biggrin.gif

My mother did actually say to me the other day there that I wasn't to worry as I would grow out of it. wacko.gif I think its a bit late for that.
