ハリーポッター 質問

For hardcore HP ファン out there: I have a mission for あなた :)

Okay, lately my friend told me that "Harry Potter ファン are basically a cult." ... I had no idea what a cult was. So i looked it up and found that it was"a group または sect bound together によって veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc." And when I admitted to him that I didnt know what it meant until I looked it up, he insulted hp ファン because he was pretty sure that the series even mentioned the word cult at least once. So I made a deal with him, and now if he finds the word cult in the series (he's gonna re-read all the books) then i'll have to do something that he'll make up for me (like a dare almost) so now im nervous wondering if the word really IS in the series, so can anyone help me 検索 for it? i'd really apreciate it! if anyone finds it tell me what book and what page :D thanks! have fun on ur mission!!! :)

First of all, there's no reason I can think of in the Harry Potter series for Rowling to use the word cult, except, potentially, about the Death Eaters, but even so. "Cult" seems like a Muggle concern もっと見る than anything else.

Secondly, your definition is accurate, but neglects to take into account all the negative connotations of the word. Also, cults tend to have charismatic leaders, forbid socializing with those outside the cult, and involve financial scams and, sometimes, suicide pacts. But those are real cults, like the Manson Family または the Heaven's Gate cult. The word "cult" is often thrown around as an insult to small social groups, generally ファン of a 人気 topic. Harry Potter, Twilight, Lost, One 木, ツリー 丘, ヒル - but ファン of these things are NOT cults によって a long shot. The term is just used as a hyperbolic insult.

nice point, Vixie79. Even if there is the word cult in the series, it doesn't mean that the whole thing is a cult. It maybe telling us of how the Death Eaters worshipped Ol' Voldy. Besides, what right does he have to trample on the past time we love? Is is so wrong to like Harry's story?

I'm not sure really, but I'm almost certain that no, the word cult is never used, the death eaters might be considered as a cult, but I don't remember no one actually saying the word cult

When he says cult i think he means series.
usually i think of a cult as spiritual または governmetal .
besides harry potter and other ファン series are fantasy,right their just the same as video games
only あなた watch things instead of play.

sincerely

I don't think so, I mean, I always thought Twilight ファン were a cult, not HP fans.

I think that we are not a cult. we are just ファン that like Harry potter. We read the 本 beacuse we find them interesting. I (in my opinion) am not part of a cult. Beacuse if I were i would have my プロフィール full of pics. and other stuff. But i dont. If some poeple do Well that their profile. let them do what ever they want with it. Im soory for my words but in my opinion i think its the truth
