It also started the trend of YA novel adaptations splitting the final book into two parts to make even more cash.

Those books weren't Hemingway or Fitzgerald. I don't need a new version every decade. The idea reeks of desperation.
It's all they can think of after the travesty that was the
Fantastical Beasts prequel thing.
I guess they could just follow the popular fanfic trend of just making up an OC wizard school set in the same universe, but where's the fun in that?

They could just find a new franchise, but we know that's not happening.

DHI is proof you can be both a massive homosexual and a virgin. They're not exclusive. If you display both in large enough quantities you can qualify for mod status.

I found the books super boring shite. I guess I was just too old at 18. Didn't care for the movies either.

And yet it is still a shining beacon in the darkness that is the Young Adult genre. Let that sink in.

Is it? It's
successful but is it good? I get that not everyone had read Brave New World by that point in their life or even LOTR. But I can power through absolute shittastic garbage out of spite.
I didn't manage to stick with the first book despite being bedridden with a stomach flu at the time. It was just
that...not even boring. Benign? Irrelevant? Not even the curiosity of "knowing what the hype is about" made me stick with it.
No ill will, no hate. Just ultimate boredom, closing the book shut and being perfectly fine on instead focusing on having violent diarrhea and puking to look forward to that day.

Well compared to the
other genre offerings like Hunger Games or - Heaven forbid - Divergent...
Or if you want something actually Harry-Potter-esque there's House of Night aka Vampire Hogwarts. That one's so bad it didn't even get a single movie.

While what I've seen of the movies looks dumber, I'm not convinced the Hunger Gayms are worse books.
Cartoonish villains being delighted about being evil is funny and I find the premise hilarious. I'd send those poorfags into the arena as well.

Hunger Games is just Battle Royale for baka gaijin.

Nah, it's Battle Royal for faggots. Even post-imperial Japan haters like me knew Battle Royal since my teens.
It's got none of the hilarity, like giving an already doomed whimp kid a fucking frying pan for a "weapon". In Hunger Gayms that would be played as a tragedy.

SNL got Dana Carvey to play Biden. He leaned in to Joe's dementia, and it plays.
