VOTE HERE for a HARRY POTTER DU GROUP!

[dhinojosa]

I am setting up a petition to set up a DU Group to discuss Harry Potter books and films. According to DU rules I must have 10 votes to set up the group. Also I must provide a mission statement.

Harry Potter Group mission statement
"Provide a group for Harry Potter fans in DU. The group's main interests include, but are not limited to, Harry Potter books, Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter theories, Harry Potter spoilers, and other miscellaneous J.K. Rowling news. The group's audience are for people of all ages, and since it is for people of all ages, members should avoid using any inappropriate words and should extend the already established DU rules and regulations."

So go ahead and place your vote, and any comments that you have.

1. I think it'd be cool...

but 'fair & balanced' would dictate that a 'I don't want...' option be provided...


called steering or something.

[Chico Man]

2. Yeah this isn't a vote, it's a petition (nt)

[dhinojosa]

3. KICK....since a typical age for a thread is 2 seconds in the lounge.

[Book Lover]

4. There is a Fantasy Lit group

that satisfies this need. Where's the "No" option in your poll?

[ET Awful]

7. Yes, but if there is an overabundance of discussion of Harry Potter

then all the non-Potter fans will be inconvenienced.

So no, that group doesn't really "satisfy this need."

[Book Lover]

12. There is already an overabundance of HP discussion there

But whatever.

[dhinojosa]

5. Kick nt

[Rainbowreflect]

6. I like the idea.

[Chicago Democrat]

8. geek!

kidding

[dhinojosa]

15. No need to kid about....its almost like race or national pride...

hehehehe.

[Lavender Brown]

9. Why not stay in Fantasy or the Books forum?

The discussion tends to wane after the book comes out. :shrug:

[XemaSab]

10. you're just mad

'cause you got dumped.

:P

[Lavender Brown]

11. Why didn't he like my necklace?

:cry:

[XemaSab]

13. I don't think it's the necklace,

I think you just got used, and you need to find someone who likes you for you.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

14. Just make sure you label spoiler threads well....

and don't post them in the title...I haven't got my copy yet!!

[XemaSab]

You have NO IDEA!

[ralps]

16. I would like to have a Harry Potter group

17. The Fatasy Lit Group grew out of this same suggestion.

But the Admins wanted it to be a broader group. See these threads from when it was forming:

How many of you Muggles are up for a HARRY POTTER group? (11/23/04)

Attention: Harry Potter Fans! (11/26/04)

[dhinojosa]

19. Yeah, but even a perhaps better reason to have a Harry Potter grp.

Those young minds who get wind of a Harry Potter group at DU may want to venture into some of the other political discussion groups, and we can free their minds!

[tyedyeto]

22. I didn't vote because I wouldn't be joining in on the discussions

there, but I'd rather see those discussions in another forum than here.

Not thst I don't like Harry Potter since I've never read any of them, I just feel that the lounge got way too over-run with the hype.

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Will we learn how to do magic?

Like maybe how to make the pREsident disappear?
