'''Harry Potter''' is the protagonist of the highly popular fantasy book series (of the same name) written by acclaimed author J.K. Rowling. Despite (or perhaps because of) being a massive phenomenon that rivaled even ''[[Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Sonic The Hedgehog]]'', Chris never got into the series. As a result, it is one of the few mainstream works that never got bastardized in [[Sonichu]]. It is also notable that Chris hates the series with an illogical passion.

If only Chris had bothered to read it, he would have known how to deal with trolls.

Harry Potter is the protagonist of the popular eponymous fantasy book series written by J. K. Rowling from 1997 to 2007. Despite (or perhaps because of) being a massive phenomenon that rivaled even Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog, Chris never got into the series. As a result, it is one of the few mainstream works that never got bastardized in Sonichu. It is also notable that Chris hates the series with an illogical passion.

Chris and the series

As with his hatred of the HEXBox and Sonic Boom, Chris's hatred of Harry Potter is highly irrational and based primarily on a warped version of brand loyalty. Chris's hatred of Harry Potter grew out of the incorrect assumption that the books had destroyed the Pokémon fad.[1][2] This is highly bizarre, as anyone who was a kid in the late 1990s knows that the mortal enemy of Pokémon was Digimon (which Chris didn't mind).[3][4] One can safely assume that Chris, being highly ignorant of the literary world beyond Goosebumps, did not even become aware of the series' existence until the first movie The Sorcerer's Stone was released in 2001.

As per his grip on reality, he has referred to Harry as a "total Spaz",[5] at one point even threatening to kill him.[6]
