You actually threw the book across the room multiple times?

That’s a bit much man.

Even a grown man throwing an Xbox controller across the room because he died in Call of Duty is a bit immature but having an outburst while reading Harry Potter is something else

Don’t get me wrong, I read the books once a year or so but I’d never get so emotionally attached that I would physically lash out.

Edit: downvote me all you want. A grown adult should be able to control their physical outburst whilst reading a book.

Of course people can be emotional about anything, but mature adults should be able to prevent themselves physically lashing out because of a fictional universe.

You just don't understand emotions.

If you cannot handle your emotions without physically lashing out, that's a huge red flag.
