Yawn.

the guys have gotten fug with age... but the girls bangable.

am i allowed to say that yet?

moe..but you know potter fan in the 20/30's well even 40's is sooo common....

hey what if those 'sad' people are also fans you the bastardly ??? how about that ?? ha ha...

Then you would have to have three hands Emma.

Sorry, I meant ILLEGAL side boob!!

Emma Watson was a very cute young girl but it looks like she's going the Mcauley Culkin and Haley Joel Osment route.

Have you read the Harry Potter books? If not, don't knock what you haven't tried. If you have, then it's just a matter of opinion. Anyway, Emma is growing up to be quite lovely.

"Anyway, the photo above features Emma Watson (she plays Harry’s lover) along side Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (he plays Harry lover, as well)."

Yep, that's the problem with the world. If guys show emotion, they're automatically labeled as gay. What the hell? Besides, both of these guys are WAY hotter than any of you will ever be. I'm guessing more interesting, smarter, etc... as well.

"It’s been rumored that Harry Potter will finally come out of the closet in the latest edition. Sadly, I hate the series & knew all along that the little bastard was gay."

Have you even read the books? The movies do not do them justice, so if you haven't read the books, you have absolutely no right to bash the series. It's a wonderfully spun story, and J.K. is an incredible writer.

"Also, this is kind of an aside, but I find older people who love the series pretty weird (in a sad & lame sort of way). I mean, it’s fine if you’re a 10 year old kid, but to be in your late 20s or early 30s…?! What the fuck?"

Again, have you read the books? There is plenty in them for "older" people to enjoy. Granted I'm still a teen, so I'm still allowed to like them, right? There are plenty of older characters, though, some of them more developed than the younger ones. Actually... There's probably an equal amount of older characters to younger ones. In addition, these books are probably the only ones in years that are actually good as far as fantasy goes... Most completely sucks, which is why even older people are fans of the series.

Seriously, shut up, and go die. Please. It would make us all very happy.

I'm done coming to this site. The only reason I ever did in the first place was to see which girls you guys found attractive. It's pretty interesting that most of the girls you think are "hot" are completely plastic whores (Kim Kashardian, anyone?). I'm guessing most of you are ghetto trash?

Again. Go die. (:

And again. Go die.

And maybe one more time.

Go die. :D

somebody please hand me a shotgun !

I feel the need to visit a confessional booth whenever I see Emma Watson.

Im really tired of hearing that everyone is gay. He doesn't look gay at all. We'll see about that. Do you know statistics show less than 5% of the population are gay? However 100% of males get called gay how whacked.

One looks like Malcolm McDowell with Down's Syndrome and the other looks like a homosexual Eastern European. The female may or may not turn out to be fugly.

Eh, the first couple of books I could do without, but the later books are good shit. The movies don't come anywhere near doing them justice. Stephen freakin' King even gushed over them. So, yeah, you're wrong about the books, but you bring us Emma Watson sideboob, so we love you anyway, Moe.

emma looks so enthused doesnt she?

Why the hell do so many girls find Daniel Radcliffe hot? Man he looks like he's a midget and he is definitely not hot. None of the long-term Harry Potter guys--except maybe the one playing Malfoy--looks remotely good after aging. The redhead one has always been fugly. The hottest guy from all the films was definitely Cedric--shame he was killed.

I have to admit Hermione started out "really average" looking, but she's gotten better in this picture anyway. She's not hugely pretty, but she isn't bad.

I'd kill those 3

@Anonymoose

I know what you mean, the film company market her for the boys so blame them.

Well I was 10 when the first book came out, and now I'm 20....and I still like the HP series because I want to know the finale.

He looks like he's got an AIDS. Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay!!! Btw, I didn't realize this before, but that dude who plays Ron is actually kind of shorty too.

lol they look like a College rock band.

Woohoo i love emma

Bitch looks kinda OK.

damn those 2 boys are qualified as gays..nyahah! the chick looks young but i know time will come that babe will be Hot..yes,considering the sided tits..hehe

p.s. i dnt have any idea that harry potter was a fucking Gay..
hmm harry potter must have a secret crush with malfroy..Fuck.

Sweet. Emma Watson side-boob. Now that I looked at that picture, can I expect to find Chris Hansen in my kitchen wanting to ask me a few questions.

MMmmmmmmmMM pic 3 Jailbait side boob - my hand is going to jail

emma watson is looking good! i can see what people are talkin about now when they says shes hot.
i cannot detect sarcasm on this site...sooo is that "gay" part true? will harry potter be gay??

I HOPE NOT! =O

PS: THEY'RE ALL RATHER "BRITISH" LOOKING ARE THEY NOT

yeah very "britishy" indeed ... but anyway I hate the whole harry potter shit, and the actor that plays him... the chick is nice but not that special.

3 fugly fucks.

Emma Wathever is a common homely girl. Even Charlotte Church is hotter!

the ginger dude is probably not gay but the guy who plays harry potter looks gayer than a fat naked dude with a mustache wearing ass-less chaps.

like i said someone please hand me a shot gun so i can take out rasheed and those 2 guys standing next to the girl!

Emma is HOT.

How can anyone prefer Charlotte Church?

She's doable, but her outfits are fucking retarded.

Emma Watson i so screw that shes legal in canada.

emma watson is looking pretty cute these days...

Emma looks damn cute, I don't know about the boys though. I've never liked either one of them.

@ kayla

whats wrong with drugs? maybe they dont make you smart like your fancy philosophy books but they can get you way high. books usually bring me down. except garfield takes the cake. i laughed my ass off at that one.

Holy shit that's the first time I see Rasheed saying something good about a girl here.
I think she looks like Emma Watson or something...

Harry Potter looks exactly like one of those gay fashion freaks. I mean, I've never seen too much gayness since Tom Cruise. And I'm a girl.

And nora, you look too stupid with that "statistics". There's NO WAY only 5% of the population are gay. I see gay dudes (and some lesbians also) in streets ALL the time, not to even mention those who'd rather die than come out (Like once again, Tom Cruise, Anderson Cooper, John Travolta, Jodie Foster...) so that little detail TOTALLY BLOWS UP your stupid statistics.

Hotpocket

Why don't you come up with an actual argument instead of falling back on lame insults? You can't. Why? 'Cause that's the only way you know how to "win" your argument considering that it's the second time you've had to fall back on insults to state your "cause". And they say men are the logical ones! Why don't you try a more sophisticated technique than ad hominem? I dare you. I'll even you a hint, try one of the ignoratio elenchi ones. And calling me a bitch? Wow....so creative! Truly, you're a regular Poe.

"older women who are into harry potter are usually overweight, live alone with cats, and make love to their dildos everynight. peace"

Way to over-generalize considering that you know absolutely nothing about me. I could be a woman, fat, skinny, tall, young, old, and even a man! Hmmm...are you ps

Sweety, I'm far from being a drag on society, but can you say the same for yourself? Sounds like someone has a complex. And here's a question: have you EVER read any of the Harry Potter books. Do you even read books? Arguments from ignorance truly fascinate me. It also fascinates me how some people assume that words put together with some coherence take time and/or effort. Hmm...must be a class thing.

class thing? i bet i make more a year then you do

and i read the first potter book, and felt angry at myself for wasting time with a gay book about gay characters doing gay things

Crap... Emma Watson is not aging well... is she going the way of Alyssa Milano? She still looks good in these pictures, but not as pretty as she used to. Is it the hair, or something?

@ kayla

just because some people who read harry potter also read so-called scholarly books doesnt mean that reading harry potter isnt a drag on society. that argument itself is an ignoratio enechi or whatever you said. harry potter are childrens books. when millions of adults read them and make it acceptable to do so it contributes to the dumbing down of america. then again your belief that edification and knowledge are somehow inherently good is still unproven so who cares whether america and the rest of the world is dumb. you read your nietzsche but you are yet to grasp it. but thats okay. that takes experience and youre young and idealistic and will eventually learn different truths (tho no less true that the ones you believe now). and yes i am psychic.

You still haven't proven that reading Harry Potter is actually a drag on society. Btw, ignoratio elenchi usually refers to a group of arguments, which one are you talking about specifically? However, if you want to say I'm distracting from the argument then I'll break that down too. I have not distracted from the argument. To restate myself, I defined by my terms what dragging society down is, thus "to be a drag on society, you’d have to be doing something really horrible or completely useless, like be addicted to drugs or WoW (sorry it’s true, my brother and his friends play it and can’t do anything else)". This is not distracting, but defining as one cannot premise an argument without first defining what a word or phrase means. Now let's continue with this definition since you insist it's a red herring. If one reads Harry Potter, at the very least the books (even the 800 page ones) take about 2 days and at most a couple of weeks of several chapters/night. Now if you're obsessed and must finish the book in 2 days, then what you lose 2 days of productivity? Not exactly a huge loss now is it, and most responsible adults tend to do this on the weekend unless they want to lose their jobs. As far as people who read at leisure, well, I'm sure they pace themselves for their own reasons. Unless you can prove to me threw official statistics that Harry Potter lowers the population's IQ, lowers grades in schools, reduces workplace productivity, reduces profits, and/or otherwise turns the population into believing that witchcraft is possible, then your argument is moot.

Your argument that Harry Potter is dumbing down America is itself a fallacy. You see the conclusion, that is, Americans are getting dumber, and then you blame it on a premise (Harry Potter) which has no bearing on the conclusion. This is called post hoc ergo propter hoc, or after the fact therefore the fact. There is no linking evidence that READING a children's book dumbs down people. First, reading one book/2 years (this is when they're released) will not lower anyone's IQ. Second, to be "dumbed down" one would have to suffer say a hit to the head or the lost of brain cells due to substance/drug abuse. If I follow your argument, then the next time I write a bad paper, I'll just use Harry Potter as an excuse to my professor that I've been "dumbed down" due to the book. I'm sure he'll fall for it.

I see worse things than reading a children's book, especially one that has themes of courage, selflessness, love, and friendship. I've read Nietzsche and yes I have grasped it. How would you know that I haven't? Have I thus spoken so (yes a lame pun)? Here's thesis I wrote using Nietzsche's Zarathustra and Lacan's Mirror Stage:

In Lacan's Mirror Stage, he claims that we strive towards our perfect image and may come close, but we never reach it. If so, how can this be reconciled with Nietzsche's overcoming? If we must assume the "armour of an alienating identity" to deal with imperfection, then how do we ever fully accept ourselves in order to create our own values? Also, Zarathustra gets past his "I" eventually, but is this really possible for us in a Lacanian framework?

Now if you can tell me what it is I'm talking about here, then you can prove that YOU have an understanding of Nietzsche. And while you're at it, tell me which of the three for Nietzsche would be most desirable, the Camel, the Lion, or the Child and which would laugh the most? FYI: This is a thesis I used in one of my master's classes so you can see I'm quite "young" to this world and "full" of optimism.

@ kayla

Who said you get to define what a "drag on society" is? I agree that we must define our terms before we can have any real debate, but it was hotpocket who first proposed that Harry Potter was a drag on society, not you or me. So your argument may not be an ignoratio elenchi, but it re-draws the playing field without hotpocket's consent, and that is certainly not fair (or, if nothing else, renders your argument moot). If hotpocket believes that people who read Harry Potter are a drag on society, then by definition they are....to him. Perhaps his only criterion for something to be a drag on society is that it increases the amount of shit he has to hear about Harry Potter. I think you do agree that "drag on society" is completely subjective, don't you? There is no "true" direction of "progress" for society. If you feel otherwise then we can surely stop debating now.

But why are we arguing in this way at all? This is the internet; this isn't how we do things in this arena. We don't cite terms like ad homeni here; we simply insult people. You're never going to get anywhere on the internet by resorting to discussions of philosophy or pulling out quotes from your Master's thesis. You might as well bring a fencing foil to a duel with pistols. Besides, no one will take you seriously.

But don't worry, you can still achieve your initial aim. Your aim was to subjugate others, wasn't it? To bend them to your will, to tower above them? Whether you do it by reason or slander, what difference does it make? Well, I assert that your stratagem of reason will render you little more than indifference, which is no victory at all. No, we must change tack! To aspersions! When in Rome, right?

But I admit I am not very good in this vein. Although perhaps we could help one another. After all, you have shown a natural ability for condescension (that was terrific how you called hotpocket "sweety"). Here, because I like you, we can work together and both improve our vituperations. First I will insult you, and then you can insult me. Okay, here I go:

"Let me turn the tables and ask YOU something? Is this the only forum where you can find use for your education in Philosophy? Your Master's level classes only have value in brow-beating males lusting over pictures of adolescent girls? Wow, sounds like that degree was worth it. And you seem to have a lot of resentment towards males in general. What's the matter, baby, not gettin' any? Why don't you try quoting some Nietzsche? I'm sure that goes over big with the guys. Bitch."

Okay, how was that? I thought the "bitch" was a nice way to end it. Okay, now it's your turn. I'll even give you some help. I am sensitive about my appearance, intelligence, virility, socio-economic status, and I struggle with gender confusion. So wail away at those topics. Oh, and I am even susceptible to physical threats if you wish to go there.

Nice try, and why are you speaking for Hotpocket? Is he too stupid to speak on his own? A man speaking for another man...interesting. Perhaps you will join forces and both try to argue this "lil' girl" down. Let me point out that both you and he insulted me first. You tried to talk down to me and he over-generalized having known nothing about me (as did you), and I only called him "sweety" after insulted me. I might also point out that MOST of what you just wrote only aims to insult me. I only started speaking down to you once you tried to claim that I don't having an understanding of Nietzsche, and so I provided you with evidence.

So tell me you have an understanding of Nietzsche since you tried to point out my "ignorance". You must understand Nietzsche if you can criticize me.

How I use my philosophical understanding is my choice, and if I feel the need to speak out when I sense ignorance, that is also my choice. Who are YOU to criticize it. Furthermore, are you with me 24 hours/day to know what else I do with my training, and do you not realize that it's summer and I'm on break until next week? Of course not, all of that is irrelevant but obviously it's important since you felt the need to attack me personally. What difference does it make if I'm on Bastardly and I have philosophical training? People of all backgrounds are allowed to come here, or is there a sign somewhere saying otherwise? Why are YOU here?

As you've so brilliantly pointed out, hotpocket has yet to define what "dragging" society down is. Until he does, we can't really move forward, now can we? Furthermore, I was having this debate with him, and I thought you were both the same people. So until he comes back, the debate about "dragging society" down is over because you didn't start it. Obviously, the phrase is subjective, but I have a right to argue it with him or are you going to contest that, too?

Surely you can come up with something better than "gettin any". I'm a woman, it's as easy as asking for it, but just to make you feel superior, sure. I haven't gotten any in ages. Wow. Look elsewhere for my achilles heel. I might say the same for you, but I'm sure you're a stud with a big cock. Hung like a horse, eh?

Ha! You and I are not so different! I have lamentably mistaken you for another, just as you have done with me.

I will tell you I am no philosopher, nor have I read any philosophy. I don't feel the need. Don't we all live the same life? Why do I need the impressions and interpretations of another when I can experience the same on my own? From that alone I understand Nietzsche. I understand his pleasure and pain, triumphs and failures, titlation and torment.

But don't take my disinterest in philosophy as a criticism of you. The reason for my disinterest is the same as the reason for your seeming interest. It is all the same; it is simply humanity.

Still, from that you ask how I can criticize you and question your own knowledge. How can I not? How can you question hotpocket's opinion? But how can you not? It is all the same. We both came here for the same reason; we both argue with the same purpose; we both point out each other's hypocrisy and failure in reason with the same intent. We both contort ourselves under the impetus of the other. But for what? For TRUTH? For KNOWLEDGE? Hardly.

Go ahead and analyze me and tell me why I say these things. With your knowledge I am confident you are capable of that. But then analyze yourself and tell yourself why you say what you say. And then alalyze that self and tell yourself why that self says those things. And then let the loop repeat itself forever. It is all the same; there is no escaping your humanity.

But I don't wish to start another fracas. You have mistaken my words for sarcasm; I wrote them in earnest. Posts of your kind will render little discourse, as already shown by hotpocket. But if you no longer wish to communicate with me then I will leave you to your silence. But know that the "insult" I wrote in quotes was meant as a hypothetical; it was not meant to offend. And you are right: I am not hung like a horse. That was the part where I mentioned my insecurity about my virility.

tell me how is reading a book a drag to society?

being racist is a drag to society because they spread hatred and teach their children to hate other races

and sometimes they create violence and want to kill and get rid of other races
so racist people should die, not people who read books

violence is a drag to society, people who make the world a bad place to be in are a drag to society and should not be here

and thats disrespectful to cultures

Remember people, RIF.

Reading Is Fundamentally A Drag On Society...

...ok, RIFADOS...sue me.

Cadoras: I think that may be too long of an acronym for people that think reading not so fundamental. You know.... they might, like, mix up the letters.

Hmm, well, then I guess we'll just have to go all Farenheit 451 on their assses.

That'll learn 'em...err unlearn 'em...whatever.

Kayla,... Shut up, bitch.

Look ass wipe- don't be calling "Kayla" a biatchhh like you know her. You probably have not even read what those two were talking about. If you can't contribute anything to that interesting agrument just don't fucking say anything, maricon!

i totally agree w/ #10...
you guys should get a life you know?!
anyways, most of the girls on this site are way to plastic....
hh
w/e!!!!
but, i've got to say, emma is grown in such a cute girl
xx

I agree with # 12. I feel wrong looking at her boob gosh darn it.
But i cannot look away cap'n, i have no powerr!
They are a cute trio. The clown, the rebel and the girl.

Potter's zipper is open!!!!! emma is so sweeet I just love her.

Emma's so cute with that little black "Coco" dress!!!!!!
Dan looks ammm like a jackass(?).
Rupert looks indeed nice.

lol Kayla, you bit off a bit more than you can chew. ^_^ But that doesn't mean you're wrong, and I agree with everything you say. You must be fairly intelligent to have taken psychology or socioligy classes or where ever you learned those large words from. But back to the Harry Potter books and whether or not they are a "drag". They definatly aren't a drag on J.K., Scholastic Press or movie industry. The books and the movies have brought in loads of cash. And I don't think that reading a book in your spare time is bad either. It's not actually a childrens book, it did start that way, but it sort of snowballed into a young adult book. Just like Harry Potter and the kids who grew up with him. It's revolutionary how J.K. featured him as our age in the first book (9 or 10 or so ) and left him at our age again (although there was the whole epilouge thing, but oh well.) I'm 17 now, and I don't think it's wrong for anyone to read a book. If you don't want to read it, don't. I don't approve of drugs and will never use them myself, but I'm not going to stop other people from doing them. (And ruining their lives.) hotpocket, your rebuttles are a bit lacking in backbone. Simply insulting someone is not a great way to prove a point. Perhaps you meant something along the lines of, "I bet someone who does nothing but read books about wicthes and magic, and psychological studies should find a real job and do something productive. How could someone who spends all day reading anyway, know exactly that they are not a drag?!?" Her lifestyle really has nothing to do with her understanding of the economical world. So please lay off and think of something that supports your argument that the Harry Potter books have a negative effect on society. (Though that was pretty funny.) kayla, I tried to read your other post (#53), but all the German words kind've killed it for me. lol But I think I kind've understood it anyway.

Basically, my point is, I don't believe Harry Potter is bad for society and is actually beneficial, and I enjoy reading them. Everyone else can do and say what they want and that's fine. Every man has a right to his own opinion, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. ^_^

(P.S. And for goodness sake! Leave Emma alone! lol "I think she's not aging well." SHE'S 16! HOW IS SHE SUPPOSED TO AGE? >_

(cont)
>_

I guess I can't type that face. Whatever. Anyway, I was saying that Harry Potter isn't gay, he marries Ginny and has about 5 kids. (All named after previous characters, kinda lame.) I doubt that Daniel is gay, and just because he works with Emma doesn't mean he has to do it with HER. Maybe he just doesn't like her or maybe he's got a girlfriend or something. Whatever, I hate concerning myself with the lives of celebritries. Well, I've taken up enough space here, I probably won't be back to see your replies, I usually only visit sites like these once or twice unless they catch my attention. Well, adios all!

The guy who plays ron is turning out to be pretty hot...

Hitler sucks

she needs a brown bag

Ok can i just fucking say something sorry to loose my temper ok.. there books if you read them fine if you dont fine stick to your own business instead of arguing emma is beautiful and a talented girl Rupert is also very talented and Daniel is hugely talented and you should give him a break i mean yeah if hes gay big deal?
They were once 3 normal people like you who went to an audition and they were chosen because they were good and better than you im not being bitchy or nasty im saying cut them some slack your just jealous i happen to love the films and own every one of the books and dvds. it is hugely sucessful and if u dont like it fuck off and choke kay

Thanks
Nicole

If you dissagree or agree

lil_nicole_@hotmail.com

add it ok.. and prove to me why you hate them so much.

Is that a smidge of barely legal side boob...(pic 3)....

I think she is very pretty

If your over the age of 15 and like harry potter books your a total fucking drag on society and should be fucking shot

He doesn't look "gay" whatever looking gay means. He just looks UNattractive.

I think girls who find these guys hot are seriously blind.

I think Emma's cute, for for sure ain't gonna age well.

hotpocket

How is one a "drag" on society if one still reads Harry Potter? To be a drag on society, you'd have to be doing something really horrible or completely useless, like be addicted to drugs or WoW (sorry it's true, my brother and his friends play it and can't do anything else). Reading a book, albeit a children's book, hardly counts as "dragging" society down because well, how many people still read books these days, YOU? And then let's consider the ones who read Harry Potter and then read books like Critique of Pure Reason, Darwin, 1984, On the Genealogy of Morality; should we condemn them and say that they are "drags" on society because the last time I checked, it was scholars who read these books in addition to Harry Potter. Reading one type of book sometimes means that you read other types of books as well. Think about it. Drags on society are people who sit all day doing nothing to edify themselves or others, and one could easily say that about a lot of Bastardly fans, but I digress.

kayla spent a lot of time writing that shit up. what a wasteful bitch. shes a drag on society. shes also a harry potter fan. older women who are into harry potter are usually overweight, live alone with cats, and make love to their dildos everynight. peace

would blow my load on Emma's body

*psychic

*through not *threw

By the way, I want to point out how you first tried to insinuate that I'm "young and idealistic" and have no understanding of Nietzsche, but once I provided evidence for that, you attacked me for it. What do you want? Do you want to say that I don't understand Nietzsche or that I'm not arguing persuasively enough because these are obviously two different arguments.

My Gawd!!!! Emma Watson is cute or what :D
