Harry Potter سوال

For hardcore HP شائقین out there: I have a mission for آپ :)

Okay, lately my friend told me that "Harry Potter شائقین are basically a cult." ... I had no idea what a cult was. So i looked it up and found that it was"a group یا sect bound together سے طرف کی 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 شائقین 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 تلاش 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!!! :)

Harry Potter جوابات

Cinders said:
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 مزید 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 یا the Heaven's Gate cult. The word "cult" is often thrown around as an insult to small social groups, generally شائقین of a مقبول topic. Harry Potter, Twilight, Lost, One درخت ہل, لندن - but شائقین of these things are NOT cults سے طرف کی 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 یا governmetal .
besides harry potter and other پرستار series are fantasy,right their just the same as video games
only آپ watch things instead of play.

sincerely

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

Dude, that wasn't even the سوال she asked. Why do آپ have to bring up Twilight???

because Twilight شائقین are a cult, I'm saying what a cult of شائقین are, which HP شائقین are not

Beacuse if I were i would have my پروفائل 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
