Oh no I’m a straight c), no question.
People who take people who take Harry Potter too seriously too seriously
It’s not propaganda. Art can unthinkingly reflect prevailing norms and prejudices without being propaganda for them. They’re fun escapist stories about a wizarding school.

A flagon of buttermead for me mate, I’m a ravenclaw
Having a favourite book, album, film. Etc. is a bit weird imo. Just an odd way of looking at art that there has to be one bit of art thats better than all of the other bits of art.
At least that’s what I say at corporate icebreakers
I guess theres more objectivity over a best sports team/person though, innit
Not in the neutral end of Craven Cottage!
Yeah I guess. Bit apples and oranges but youre on the xylopath so I’ll sit this one out
Books don’t compete with each other to see who scores the most book points. This is silly
Sure. I’m not really having a pop. Just find it a bit odd when I think about it, completely aware that I do it myself a lot anyway
Centuries of religious bigotry for me
Anyone who supports Harry Potter is a fucking glory hunter. Plastic Potter.
Can be a lot of reasons but I guess it boils down to having a lasting emotional connection and therefore adding a depth to an essentially meaningless succession of matches and seasons
It’s intrinsic to being a spectator of a sport in a way that it’s not for other art forms.
Not really? Establishing hierarchies on things like this is a very masculine way to approach culture. I used to think I engaged with music “wrong” because I couldn’t possibly tell you what my top five artists, albums etc of all time are because that just seems… well, daft to me. In this TED talk
I think most reasonable football fans accept that the team they support and the best team are different things (re your Olympic analogy).
I’m not sure liking a book and supporting a football team are as neatly comporable as you’re making out tbh
I’ve never ranked an album in my life!
Masking tape though, now there’s something I can get behind ranking.
Which is a shame as you don’t seem to have a fucking clue!
Neither do you you random old man!
