20. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

Poor Harry. Why can't his aunt and uncle just accept him for the magical wizard he is?! My mother has come to terms with my magical ability ages ago. Come on now.

21. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Come to think of it... magic in itself is enough to qualify for dysfunctional in a suburban home. Even though it would be really cool.

22. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

So take away the wand... and all Harry really is, is a severely emotionally abused boy. Those darn Dursleys...


Marge deserved it.

I think, with my family, I can do a pretty good job with this list subject. I have grown up in a delightfully odd household.
Also, my family loves each other.
A lot.
Sometimes.
