No Harry Potter, Please
Those Russian bearded guys cannot stand Harry Potter books, especially the latest one. They gather in groups in public places and burn down a couple of “Harry Potters”.

SECOND….
But i can’t feel anything in saying that…
Nevertheless, Harry Potter being burned? Strange. Is it because the author revealed that his mentor was gay?
As much as I know, author of Harry Potter is “she”.
‘His’ as in Harry’s…
Wow! That is something I have missed. Very up-to-date children book. Preparing for hardships of real life.
I agree with these guys
I think harry potters a knoblet

fat bastardos got nothing to do, i could come up with a better protest though, ‘dam fat guys offf the street’!
they should do a hunger strike!
L O L that is a good idea
Maybe this is a part of a guerilla campaign.
Btw why do they have a cross on their head?
I not read Harry Potter, but heard very much reviews. It seems like ordinary fairytale.
Can someone tell me why the issue?
It marks the place you are supposed to drop a brick onto.
See my reply to boris below. It was in this week’s time issue.
marina:
since it’s about witchcraft many religious people see it as evil and sinful. (witches should be killed etc)
it’s funny since the author is a christian herself and the potter story in the end is nothing but an analogy of the life of jesus christ himself. at least the last book.

Russian orthodox theocracy.
Give them control over Russian nuclear stockpile, tanks and attack helicopters, and you will see hell.
Russia will be from Pacific to Atlantic. With “Golden domed” Moscow in the center.
And how exactly these bearded dudes are different from the Iranian variety?
…on, that’s right, they are not.
…or thier American counterparts?
No, their American counterparts are totally different. For one thing, they don’t wear beards…
…and, actually, that’s about it.
How about those “God Hates Fags” personaltities
Heh, Fred Phelps (I haven’t been tracking him for a while, though, is he still on his thing?) is endlessly entertaining…
I’d classify him as mostly harmless, though: he might be a lot more insane than Iranian mullahs, but his lack of real power over anyone outside his own family makes it safe to ignore/poke fun at him.
Not completely harmless. A university professor who criticized Phelps was run off the road and beaten.
OK, I’d have to withdraw “harmless” comment, if that is true. No, serious? Sources?
The incident occurred at about the same time the Phelps people were reported to be harrassing the families of soldiers killed in Iraq, but it doesn’t mention Phelps. Here is a link.

No shit. I am not entirely convinced by the veracity of the story, though, or that christianoid lunatics had anything to do with it. Lessons learned: don’t stop for tailgaters, don’t open doors, keep a loaded 9 mm under the seat.
It did sound as if Prof. Mirecki was engaged in a little baiting himself. Anyway, file story under “Whats the Matter with Kansas? and other weird stories”.
“I am not entirely convinced by the veracity of the story”
Oh come on, fag! You are always convinced by any bullshit about Russia that is published in western press written by incompetent or bribed journalists for stupid and dumb fellas like yourself. So how come this article didn’t convince you?
I hope you are right.
Different religion, ideas, practices, different race, different way of thinking, different goals, different land… I could keep going but I dont know what you are trying to say, the only thing in common with Iranian mulah’s is the beard.
And yet, fundamental concept of suppression of ideas through book burning is identical. Given that, superficial similarities and differences don’t matter. Thanks for playing.
“fundamental concept of suppression of ideas through book burning ”
What about fundamental concept of feeding ideas through children’s books?
If I had a kid, I would not want him/her reading about a homosexual wizard. That should not be in a childrens book and no matter what these people look like, their views are shared by many. JK Rowling stepped over the line.
But when Iran burns history books thats totally different.
Can we play again?
Have you READ about homosexual wizard? Really, in what Harry Potter book Dumbledore is out of the closet?
…that’s right, none of them. It is something J.K.R. said in one of her interviews. So fucking what?
And if you don’t like the concept that your children are exposed to ideas (horror of horrors, they might start questioning parental authority! Or even ask questions you won’t have the balls to answer!), then it is your parental duty to protect them. Lock them up in a closet and don’t let them out until they are 21. How other people raise their kids is none of your fucking business.
And, of course, I see no difference between bearded morons burning books because they disagree with Qu’ran and bearded morons burning books because they disagree with the Bible… or because they describe behavior considered inappropriate by either. At least the former have proud historical antecedent in caliph Umar. Still, fuck ‘em all.
We’re not talking about historical or religious text here.
This is a fucking children’s story. And I’m not telling other people how to raise their children, but don’t force feed homosexuality to MY kids. Thats not a child author’s job…its the parents. What the fuck is wrong with people today? I turn on MTV and there’s two guys making out….like seriously, you can do what you want and I wont judge that, but dont put it in my fucking face like that. Same with this whole gay pride thing. You’re gay, whatever, noone cares as long as it doesnt interfere. But when you march down the street in rainbows and girl shorts holding hands and kissing…you’re taking it too far. And if this is how parents want their kids to learn about this kind of shit, then they are not really parents and their kids will likely turn out to be cynical bastards.
And if you cant see the difference between Iranian mullahs burning historical text and catholic priests burning a childrens book, then I’m sorry but there is no hope for you.
“don’t force feed homosexuality to MY kids.”
Then don’t buy your fucking children the fucking books, what’s so fucking difficult about it? It’s your fucking job as a fucking parent. End of the fucking story. Same goes for fucking MTV.
I won’t. And I’m sure alot of other parents won’t. But something that packages itself as one thing (a childrens book or a music channel) but turns out to be another (a book dealing with adult issues or a dating channel for homosexuals) then its misleading.
If she wants to bring homosexuality to light, then write a book about it. Don’t hide it as an alternate motive in something unrelated. It says that this kind of behaviour is ok and tolerated when its really a taboo and uncommon. Like I said..next thing we’ll be telling our kids about beasteality and sodomism. She should have made the wizard anoying, femimine, infected with std’s, and outkast and ridiculed by the other wizards. Then explain why he cant have kids or get married. That is the true face of homosexuality. Not magical powers.
Homosexuality seems to be trendy. Every show on TV has to have the token Homosexual and now they have to be associated with children’s books. I can’t explain homosexuality or why homosexuals exists, but I do believe a large percentage of people who profess to be homosexuals have deeper issues that they try to suppress by living the homosexual lifestyle. Just my opinion…. and I am by no means an expert…
Once again, reeeeal slow this time: w h e r e i n H a r r y P o t t e r b o o k s d i d y o u s e e a h o m o s e x u a l c h a r a c t e r ???
That’s right, nowhere. JKR can say whatever she damn please, and if you are going to take that seriously, you better make sure that your kids have no friends whatsoever: some of them might, horror of horrors, turn out to be gay. That’s real world for you, deal with it.
Nowhere in the book, but when she talks, kids listen. She has a responsibility as a famous childrens author to say the right things. These comments will make her an outkast herself. I’m sure you wont hear much else from her anytime soon. Speaking at schools? Nope. On childrens programming? Not anymore. I doubt she will even do many interviews at all after this.
“suppression of ideas”
Do you know what supression means? Who or What did these people suppress?
Do you know anything about christian religion, dumbell? Do you know that christianity (not just Russian orthodoxy) does not support that kind of paganistic crap (wizards, magics and so on)? I don’t know if these particular “dudes” are connected with the church or not. But the church doesn’t approve that stuff anyway and we also had demonstrations against “harry potheads” led by the church itself.
Do you know that it is just a demonstration? A fucking democrat and ass licker of the USA like yourself should better know what demonstrations are.
BTW, you’ve shown your true face.
At first I thought that you were just a commie-hater and that you posted anti-soviet messages because of that. I remember your comment that was something like “enjoying the destruction of the churches (or whatever) commited by the red tzars?” - or something like that. Now you posted a comment on the topic which has nothing to do with the commies. You’re just trying to bite Russia at any opportunity no matter if it is the commies’ Russia, Putin’s Russia or tzarist orthodox Russia. You’re just a fucking two-face miserable scumbag with a garbage collector instead of a mouth that has only trash inside. I pity for world that bears such rotten bastards like you.
P.S
Чертов уебан, иди на хуй.
Сам пошел нахуй, пидар гнойный, в сраку трахнутый козоеб, пиздоблядопроебина трихомонадная охуевшая в сукоблядской злоебучести, говноед сортирнопутинский, проблядь селигерская, антон - штопаный гандон, тихий блядский дон… Продолжить?

You stupid farts, those aren’t priest, its the newest art movement in Moscow, its just a show. They are doing an interpretation of the Inquisition but in a Orthodox manner dressed in Hell’s Angels attire.
Hope they know what they are doing. A copy burned is a copy sold. Thanks, guys.
Signed: J. K. Rowling
Heh. Very good cynical.
Those men look better than actors in the (Harry Potter) movie
eheheheheh
Do these people belong to the Moscow Patriarchy of the Orthedox Church, or are they a separate branch or sect much like those annoying Jehovah’s witnesses?
Also, I have read some Harry Potter books, and I do agree with Marina. They arn’t diferent from any other fairytale. So why are Cathilics, Evangelists and some Orthodox Christians are so strongly opposed to it?
Its a very popular series and I did not agree that the church found it satanic becuase of the witchcraft involved. Its a goddamn childrens book, so what?
But when the author uses this popularity to introduce the idea of homosexuality to children…then it’s no longer a childrens story, its propoganda.
Would you also like her to include beasteality in the next version? How bout group orgies and swingers?
Sex and sexual preferences do not belong in a children’s book.
I do agree, it does seem a bit over the top. I certainly wouldn’t want my kids to be reading a book which promotes homosexuallty. But in her defence, I don’t think she ever made homosexualty explicit in her books. Perhaps it is done in film? I don’t know, I haven’t seen it.
Hagrid, nooo!! Why are you with the Slytherins doing this!?
The reason they’re burning Harry Potter books is because they’re fanatical Christians. Doesn’t matter if you’re Russian or American or Orthadox or evangelical, fanatical Christians hate competition from fairy tales, especially when they’re presented as fairy tales rather than literal truth like they try to do with the Bible. They just can’t bear the fact that another fairy tale besides Christianity can be so entertaining (as if the Bible was fun to read). I’m no fan of Harry Potter or the Bible, but I’d sure like to take a golf club to these retards. They look like the Russian versions of American Christian Biker gangs. So pathetic…

Except that they probably can’t even ride. Pathetic…
Maybe they are burning Harry Potter because the series SUCKS. Who gives a shit.

Let me guess… You are the smartest person you know and you consider yourself above average intelligence. Am I right?
Hehe, I think Pacific N W has got a point, though. I think it might not have to do with any supposed homosexuality, too. It’s just the fact that some belief opposes anything to do with magic; even fictional. Just what I think, I don’t know.
The thing is we have no idea why they burned those books. They are entitled to do that. The quickest way to determine if a argument is baseless is to see if it includes an insult.
I agree, they have the right to do so. And *I* have the right to call them the scum of the earth.
Oh wow these guys again!
Its nice to see them again, I love the hats that they wear, does anybody know where I can get something like these?
What does a homosexual wizzard do? is it worse than being just ordinary homosexual?
Homosexuals are fairy’s not wizards.
…something to do with his wand I think.
LOL.
Heh. “Dumbledore and the Tower of Power” will be the title of the next J.K.R. book, as someone commented elsewhere.
Rowling is just trying to be controversial and get attention, or she wouldn’t have said it at all. Whatever she says now, it’s irrelevant to the book. And it’s not even the latest they’re burning in the picture (it looks like they’re only burning one) it’s the second (or third, I forgot) so I doubt it has anything to do with that. Not that any other reason makes more sense. I don’t even like Harry Potter. The writing is awful. The whole thing is overrated.
lol i love these guys. I wonder if they actually pray or if they’re too busy protesting stupid non-important stuff. and growing beards.
They are protesting over the lack of bearded people in the harry potter series!
of all of them, the fat bearded guy in the last photo is perhaps the scariest, he looks like some kind of sinister santa claus
Aaaah, really good guys. They do belong to Moscow Patriarchy of Orthodox Church.
But this one is my favorite. Burning of american quasi kabbalist-porno-witch Antimadona.

THIS IS P A T H E T I C!!!!
HARRY POTTER IS FICTION!!!
JUST LIKE DA VINCI CODE… IT’S PURE FICTION
THESE GUYS ARE MAD
PHYSCO!
Let nothing tarnish your memories of Albus Dumbledore!
Or as the French say Dumbly-dore!
Its a book people… a book. B-O-O-K.
Let the dead rest in peace (R.I.P Dumbledore)
Loosen up fellas! You are taking this shit way too seriously!
What about real work and recaived big health for me?,
See please and ask what health i must buy! :),
Nice work ban these shit book
Good burning!
Maybe we should burn their benzes..
“She has a responsibility as a famous childrens author to say the right things”
Oh, yeah? Responsibility to whom? You? Me? God him-fucking-self? Did she sign a contract in that regard? Can I see it?
…didn’t think so. End of the story. As for her future interviews, that’s her problem, not yours or mine.
And, where the fuck did you learn your… what passes for English, I guess. “Childrens”? “Outkast”? “Wont”?
Forget about children. Now, this guy is fucked.
Heh. And I can imagine that Rowling’s publisher just about choked when he heard about her statement.
I respectfully disagree: no publicity is bad publicity. Hell, I was wrong elsewhere: a copy burned is more than one copy sold, and my cynical self wouldn’t be too surprised if the whole thing turns out to be a PR move.
You may be right about the PR. But it would seem to be a risky move for a childrens book. To me it seems to be much ado about nothing. One of those things you hear about, shake your head and move on.
Fuck off you donkey raping shit eater.
…and that’s the only response this small-penised little prick deserves.
Do you know why people are so easily convinced by “any bullshit about Russia that is published in western press”?
Because Russia has worked very hard and is keeping on working very hard to build itself a reputation which suits what you read about it.
As Russia has made itself look like a shithole, anyone naturally is tended to believe, that it is full of shit.
Could there be another reason?
Not bloody likely. Reputation, y’know…
As a matter of fact there could be one.
That so much feared by Russian mass media and politicians global international russophobe conspiracy of Jewish, Masons, American imperialists, Baltic and Polish Neo-Nazies and millions of others with a single sick purpose of humiliating, torturing and eventually destroying the great, white and fluffy Mother Russia, the holy “Third Rome”.
