They have their own opinions, as strange as they may seem to us. Sure they're mad at JKR, sure they say they hate her...but COME ON! They're Harry Potter fans, and nothing's going to stop them from reading the seventh book. We're all people, we're all strange sometimes. So...yeah.
I really hope you're not terribly mad at me. I feel horrible now.
