Forgot to blog this when I first saw it a couple of days ago.
“I don’t give a shit,” said Harry, continuing to walk. The three of them walked in silence. Eventually Harry spoke: “I think it’s weird how, like, the last four years of life have been pretty similar… I mean, it starts with me getting pissed off with the Dursleys and doing some sort of magic which I then get in trouble for, then I end up at school, after a couple of hours where it looks like I might not make it, and get involved in some sort of trouble that reveals itself fully in the last couple of days of the term. It’s almost as if I’m living in a repetitive series of books or some shit.”
Harry Potter
…
i just want 2 know his e_mail and his real name
why do you have swearing in this peace of writing. i think that that is horriable. what if a little child comes on and then they repeat the language
emily,
Well firstly, I didn’t write the piece so I didn’t put the swearing into it. If you had read the whole piece that I linked to you would have seen that it’s a satirical piece pointing out that the world of Harry Potter is nothing like the world of any real British schoolboy. The piece addresses this by rewriting Potter as a real British teenager would experience it. To do that it needs to include swearing, sex and probably drugs as these things form an integral part of any teenager’s life.
And really, I’m not bothered in the slightest bothered if children read this page and start using the word “shit”. Children swear. You just have to accept it. I’d be far more concerned if they started using your mispelling of “horrible”.
