LONDON -- You don't meet many people who dislike Harry Potter. Most either love the franchise or A Male Friend Who Spins it Aroundare indifferent to it. But it does have its critics.
Tilda Swinton might be one of the biggest.
The British actress mentioned her dislike of the films in a recent interview with The Scots Magazine.
When talking about her own school experience -- she attended London's West Heath Boarding School-- she described it as "a very lonely and isolating environment".
The experience seems to have put her off J.K. Rowling's depiction of Hogwarts.
