JK Rowling's new book is all kinds of punches in the childhood.
15 People Who Think J.K. Rowling’s Racy New Book Has Ruined Their Childhood
The Harry Potter author’s new book for adults, The Casual Vacancy, includes sex scenes and a lot of curse words. In other words: CHILDHOOD = RUINED.
I know, right? Now tell your friends!
15 People Who Think J.K. Rowling's Rac...
Hillary Reinsberg
J.K. Rowling has graduated (for now, at least!) from writing books intended for kids, which means, obviously, that your childhood is finished.
2.
Jk Rowling releasing an ADULT book on the 27th?.......I feel like my childhood is officially over
Sex scenes??? It can’t be!
3.
I hope Casual Vacancy won't be filled with gross sex scenes or my childhood will be ruined...
The narrator of your childhood is talking about balls and erections.
4.
JK Rowling writing about a teenager's balls with great sang froid. Nooo my childhood #thecasualballs #spoilers
5.
Oh God. J.K. Rowling used the word "erection" in her new book. My childhood is officially OVER. #casualvacancy #jkrowling
6.
Jk Rowling just said erection. Bye bye childhood.
And she’s using curse words. Blashpemy.
7.
Cursing from JK Rowling? Why do you insist on continually killing my childhood?
8.
Just heard J. K. Rowling say "fuck". My childhood has officially ended.
9.
JK Rowling's use of 'fucker' in her new book is like a big slap to my childhood..
10.
Barely 30 pages in & J.K. Rowling has already used the words, 'fucker', 'shit', 'cunt', 'tits' & 'erection'. D: MY INNOCENCE. MY CHILDHOOD.
11.
I tried to watch last night's Culture Show about JK Rowling, but had to stop a few seconds in after she swore. Childhood RUINED.
Childhood has been RIPPED AWAY.
12.
J.K Rowling using the word 'fuck' and 'cunt' is odd. My childhood has been ripped away from.
People are #sad.
13.
The fact JK Rowling's wrote an adult book kinda makes me feel like my childhood is over, sounds stupid but it does.
14.
JK Rowling's new novel comes out today.. if you need me, I'll be in my room crying because I just remembered my childhood is over. #hormones
Heck, the book’s even ruining childhood for people who are STILL children.

laurenc36 a month agoHarry Potter was directed at children. It was a children’s book that grew up with you. THIS is for adults. Be an adult and get over it. If you can’t accept words like that I suggest “Cat in the Hat” or “Green Eggs and Ham”, because clearly Dr. Seus is more your speed. -.-;; Honestly.

Andy 3 months agoWhat’s wrong with people being uncomfortable about their favorite childhood author writing a stark thriller that deals with subjects like: drug use, bullying, teen sex and suicide? It’s almost cute how everyone is so quick to show off just how jaded they are to the internet.

Ok i was 11 when the first book came out, i grew up being a dedicated hp fan who got EVERY single book the very moment they were released and can tell you the exact time and date (july 1st at 9:01am) i waited hours in line to get them and can read you the books word for word without the book with me…..so to say the least i was OBSESSED …….i am 25 this year and can honestly say i bought the new jk book when it came out, YES it is pretty raunchy but she is an AMAZING author, so very talented and the book was amazing (and seems to be left open for a sequel) so i do not know what all these idiots are on about, she has not ruined anyones childhood, kids today are such whiny drama queens ……..JK you are amazing keep them coming <3

People need to get over themselves. I grew up reading Harry Potter as well, but I’m looking forward to her new work. She’s allowed to write adult novels as well. I think it’s great she is expanding her work to other genres. She is an adult woman of course she swears. She had a few of her characters swear in the Harry Potter series. As for the woman who bought the book for her eight year old daughter? That’s what you get for being too stupid to make sure the book is appropriate for her age. Dumb bitch. Just because it was the same author doesn’t mean it automatically for kids. And for the ones whose childhood’s are ruined? Did you grow up under a rock? There are books and movies out there with sex and curse words. Im sure you’ve seen them, so therefore your childhood and innocence has been gone a while. Especially if you’re an actual adult. Im sure youve had sex and you curse yourself. Damn people are uptight as hell.

i disagree with this, these are not “real” fans, i was a real fan and i love her new book just as much, do not presume the fans are lame because you read the comments of 15 idiots, besides true harry potter fans are in my age group, and i am 25, all these teens are new to it and kids these days are just dramawhores.

From everything I’ve heard, this is actually very thoughtful, insightful book. I might actually read this one. Because I’m already an adult.
