13444458, How many JK Rowling books have you read?
Posted by MEAT, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
Im gonna go out on a limb here and feel that most of us haven’t read a single JK book.
And within that say that the authors in general aren’t typically thought of with film adaptations
Harry Potter is a Dan Radcliff vehicle
Fantastic Beasts is a Johnny Depo vehicle
Them Tom Clancy books are vehicles for famous white men
Willy Wonka is a Gene Wilder movie

And so on

just 1.

It was a fun and quick read.

My wife laughed when I told her about it.

“It should be, its a childrens book”
13444460, poor sap who read exactly 5

what option could they choose?
13444463, There are 7 HP books
Posted by MEAT, Tue Oct-12-21 01:43 PM
Nobody read five and stopped.
The either read three and gave up on the author for good or read all seven
Like who’s the person that read only three HP books, quit, but read two from the extended universe.
13444461, none! fuck I look like....

13444464, WHY AREN'T WE DISCUSSING JK ROWWWWLIIIINGGGG
Posted by Rjcc, Tue Oct-12-21 01:47 PM
probably because the specific age group that okp covers is exactly in the gap that's least likely to have read the books or even watched the movies


or it's because of the flawed criticism of her

it's one of those definitely

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at
13444468, the main series and like 3 or 4 of the supplements
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Oct-12-21 02:19 PM
13444472, All of the main Harry Potter books
Posted by shygurl, Tue Oct-12-21 02:40 PM
At this point I wouldn't support anything of hers, partially because she is a terf, and partially because through an older adult's eyes there's just as much racism and sexism in her books as anti trans rhetoric in her real life speech.
13444575, all of the original Potter books. so 7?

"Chappelle is now a wealthy cishet Black man with little else to offer to his audiences, but low-hanging uninformed fruit. And cishets who claim LGBTQ+ have too thin a skin also lack the range to confront their own prejudices in a meaningful way."
13444576, None

I associate Willy Wonka with the Roald Dahl book.
13444577, Zero, although between my Grandmother and various Girls
Posted by Adwhizz, Wed Oct-13-21 01:18 PM

I wanted my time back
