Tilda Swinton reveals why she doesn't like the 'Harry Potter' films
LONDON -- You don't meet many people who dislike Harry Potter. Most either love the franchise or are 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.
"That's why I dislike films like Harry Potter which tend to romanticise such places," Swinton said. "I think they are a very cruel setting in which to grow up and I don't feel children benefit from that type of education.
"Children need their parents."
