Main Discussion: The Most Controversial Opinions in the Harry Potter series What are the Harry Potter opinions that you think would get you in trouble? That would have people flinging an Unforgivable Curse at you? That would cause Umbridge to write a new decree about you? Is Hermione a terrible person? Are people who’ve only watched the movies and haven’t read the books "real" fans? Could the chapters that aren’t about Harry be the best parts of the series? Was the attack on The Burrow a good addition to the Half-Blood Prince movie? Were the Marauders, while intelligent and witty, actually total a**holes? Was Remus Lupin horrible for not writing to Harry in Year 1? Quizzitch: What is Harry wearing during his first dream in Gryffindor Tower?
