Celebrity Amber Alert



"Like Behind the Music for Magicians"

Harry Potter, amazing tales of wizardry? No my friends, a story of child abuse. Think of it this way: an evil wizard kills your parents and scars you physically. So what do those protecting you do...send your infant ass to abusive family members who never liked your parents and take it out on you your entire life. Your "chosen" ass lives in a closet under the stairs, washes and cleans like an indentured servant and are constantly reminded how lucky you are that they took your orpan ass in. Then what happens, but you find out that you are accepted into wizard school. Not only that, but that you have a fortune in some wild bank run by goblins and everyone is treating you like a celebrity...but no one really wants to tell you why. It seems like every thing is going well, you've made new friends and you're doing things you like. Then drama starts to occur and it seems like it's all centered around you...and you have no idea why. It seems like someone wants to kill you and no one will tell you straight up whats going on. So you manage to reveal the culprit and find that you are a target of the same person who killed your parents...and it seems like he can't be killed and will come for you again. Then you go home again to abuse and downtalk. So you return to school the following year and here we go again. People are getting paralyzed, you're turning up with special powers and now people are suspecting you. So you work through the situation and and find out...it's the same dead guy that killed your parents trying to kill your ass again. You knock him out the box almost dying in the process, but you make it through. Of course no one has told you anything straight up. People keep dropping hints and shit. So you go back home...again. This time you're older and when another family member tries to rip on you and your family you snap and blow her ass up. Of course you face serious trouble for this, but things work out. Then you find out that someone has broke out of jail and is trying to kill you, again. Then you almost get killed on the way to school. You go around for another school year with no one telling what the hell is going on and knowing your life is in danger. On top of that your fame still can't get you on the field trips to town...sumumabitch! Then you find out the person who broke out played a part in your parents death. Now you're pissed off. You make up your mind that you are going to kick some ass this time. You track down the culprit and find out...he is the only person left that knows something is willing to tell you and he didn't do anything to your parents. Of course you save his life, but you can't prove he isn't guilty so he has to take off. Leaving you in a place where someone always wants to kill you and no one will tell you what the hell is going on. This cat needs child protective services or something. He is obviously part of a cycle of abuse that will continue. Help him if you see him.

Whoa! I'm not a fan of the movies or books by Harry Pothead, but that was definitely a different spin on the whole legacy of the series. If anything, it made me not want to get into it even more.-lol Give me some Lord of the Rings anyday and twice on Sunday. The soliloquoy was tight though...

I like to look at Harry Potter;s story as an allegory for Life. We all have a "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" inside of us.

This entity makes us doubt ourselves and question ourselves when it's time for action. And just as soon as we think we've licked 'em, he shows up again in a new form.

that s why there is fiction. people who don t want to read straight philosophy can develop thoughts on that.
i don t get the whole fuzz about how great you did the job here it s boring and probably doesn t do justice to the books. i was actually going to ask you.. so did you read them all through?
the most unlike persons in my surroundings have read them and I am surprised that I haven t read them yet. never thought about it. too obvious a hit. like star wars. but here i probably really missed something... :)

yeah. harry potter this or the other way, is a big hit. a namefame. even us who refuse to read write about it.... like me stupidly long comments.... ;) sorry....

@ all I never read the books this is just from the movies...My moms read the books and it only gets worse from what she tells me.

@ Frank...I'd check them out if I were you from what I hear they are good...this is actually a joke me and my mother share about the series.

*LOL*!! Well, I read all of the books (well, I mean I listened to all of the audio books) and I couldn't agree with you more. By book 3, I couldn't blame Harry for having a straight up attitude! I mean, why did he always have to wait with baited breath for his best friend's parents to invite him home for the holidays just to get a little peace from his own dayum family?? To make matters worse his best friend had like 50-11 brothers and a sister and was already poor so technically, if Harry was a real person, you best believe he probably felt like an imposition sometimes.

See.... now this is exactly how white boys end up snapping (*shaking my head*).

Anyway I just had to stop by, drop my two cents and let you know that I thought this was a great post!
