I'm so fan girling right now. I recently won a lot of old Harry Potter figures I had when I was younger. Since they're still in the mail, I decided to watch the first three movies. And oh my goodness! I've forgotten how much I love Harry Potter!!!

I know.. I'm a nerd lol. Sadly, I haven't seen the last three movies, though I did finish the books. I'm hoping to buy the movies. Been stalking ebay lol

Anywho, anyone into Harry Potter? Collect stuff? Make art? Please do share your Harry Potter love with me so I don't feel like the last living fan lol

My Lord of the Rings shelf might just get jealous now that I'm buying Harry Potter stuff.

Also.. Ron and Hermione are like.. the most adorable couple! <3

....I'm such a fan girl! LOL

Also.. if anyone has anything harry potter laying around like old toys/ect that they don't want and want to sell me for cheap.... Okay now I sound desperate lol!!!

Anywho, watching Chamber of Secrets right now.. so.. I'll check back to see if anyone else out there is still obsessing over the magical world

I love Harry Potter (If my avatar didn't make it clear enough...

), because I simply love how Rowling uses small details that happaens throughout and makes it something you did not expect AT ALL later.

Have you heard the audiobooks read by Stephen Fry? I'm currently listening to them for the third time. I think Fry does an excellent job, and I have it on my mp3 so I can just potter (pun not intended

) around the house/work/town completely engrossed in HP.

I've been a fan sicne the beginning. The bookstore I used to go to had me read Harry Potter and the PHILOSOPHER'S Stone - the SORCERER'S Stone version hadn't hit the US yet and they specialized in translations from different countries. Reminds me - it's time to re-read the series for the nth time again!

Not my thing. Glad you are having fun though.

I've been a Potterhead since I've first read the Sorcerer's Stone, when I was in 7th grade. It was a class reading project, and back then I wasn't so enthusiastic, that was until we started reading and since then I could not get enough. I had to read every book, and when the Sorcerer's Stone movie came out, I had my mom and dad get EVERYTHING Potter for me for Christmas! I have now a collection of Harry Potter: Figurines, Trading cards, Dolls ect. And after a while I had found I LOVED the 3rd book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It is my favorite, and I had wore out the book

Nowadays every time I see anything Harry Potter in Garage Sales, Flea Markets, Thrift Stores, I pick it up!

Here in Canada we only got the Philosopher version! It was great.

I became a Harry Potter fan the first time I saw Snape and fell in love with him

That was when there was a HP marathon on tv and I was really sick and it was the only thing on, lol. I watched it and fell deeply in love

Bought all the movies and saw Deathly Hallows 2 in theaters some months later. My friend bought me all the books, but I have to say my love died a bit when *SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T READ THE LAST BOOK OR WATCHED THE LAST MOVIE* Snape died

It's crazy, but I literally lost it

You get so involved in the books and movies that the characters seem real. The love of my life died and I feel like I've never quite recovered from it

But, the HP books and movies are so brilliant, I love them

I just wish they didn't have to end! I also have a thing for Lucius, hehe

Professor McGonagol was awesome in the last movie

I have a Snape bust and action figure, hehe

Favorite characters - Snape, Lucius, Draco, Luna, Lupin, and I also really like Dumbledore and Dobby.
Least favorite - Umbridge, Percy, Fudge, and the new Minister of Magic (can't remember his name)

A lot of my family loves Harry Potter! My mother buys the books from yardsales (only hardcover) so my niece and nephews can have their own set. I also completed a Gryffindor and Ravenclaw friendship bracelets recently. I'm also playing an old computer game, planning on reading the fifth book again soon, getting something HP related for my friend for Christmas...

what is my life

I will admit that when I get into a Harry Potter phase, it's always fueled by my love of slash fanfics. I'm too embarrassed to admit my favorite pairing.

I've read the books and seen the movies, but I've never really gotten into the fandom stuff.

I'm not a big fanfic reader of HP, but I love the books. The audio books are awesome.

My sister just bought me some Prisoner of Azkaban figures from ebay! I'm so excited! We're also bidding on a Hermoine doll!

LOVE me some Harry Potter! I actually started reading the second book when I picked it up at a friend's house for something to do while I was waiting for her, and I got totally hooked. I actually went to see the movies, not only in the theater, but right when they opened. Usually, even if it's a movie I really want to see, I'll wait for it to come out on dvd because I hate crowds.

When I read The Half Blood Prince and got to the end where Dumbledore dies I was so flabbergasted I actually said out loud, "That can't have just happened!" and IMMEDIATELY started over at the beginning, because I was sure I had missed something the first time through.

I haven't collected any of the merchandise or anything, but I did play the Lego Harry Potter game and LOVED that too! And as a writer myself, JK Rowling is very inspirational to me. I love how her Harry Potter books are so compelling and well written that they're so popular well beyond the young adults they were originally meant for.
