The Pros and Cons

[Galaxy]

Okay, so maybe this is a bit ridiculous, but I just thought of this game, and thought it would be fun. The title is rather self explanitory; You are given a topic, and you must find at least one pro and one con about said topic. For example, if my topic were "Harry Potter", I would put

Pro: It's an epic series that has come to inspire many!

Con: A ton of young fans probably get veeeery disappointed when their 11th birthdays rolls around and they don't get Hogwarts letters.

But that was just a quick example, nothing too spectacular. It's cool if no one's interested, I just thought this could be fun.
