| Why don't we have a topic for this series yet? God I love Harry Potter! I've been reading it since grade school! At first I thought it was stupid, but the first movie got me into it. Around that time the first four books were out. My favorite book is the second. A few years ago I read the series from start to finish for the first time. It was great to see how my opinions I have changed over the years. Today!! I got this!! The books are being illustrated now!! I found it in a book store today and the clerk told me the second one will be coming out next November. I had to get it! The pictures are so pretty. I am planning to get the whole series. |

| I've loved Harry Potter since I was in first grade! It was my first ever fandom! I started to lose interest in the series when the last book came out, though. I was spoiled by some jerk on YouTube about a week before it was released, so it really sucked the fun out of reading it. And I was also just unhappy with the outcome... There were way too many deaths, and I did NOT like what was revealed about Snape. Snape was the biggest reason I disliked it, actually. I'm not even going to lie, I shipped him with my Mary Sue OC, and when the big reveal happened, it tore my entire fanfiction apart! I was twelve years old. What a strange child I was... Anyway, my favorite book in the series is Order of the Phoenix, and I really have no clue why. Maybe it was because Snape and Sirius both played heavy roles in that book, and those are my favorite characters? That's the only reason I can think of, because the rest of the book was pretty miserable, what with Harry having PTSD, and Umbridge...being Umbridge. But my copy is completely battered, missing its book jacket, the hardback cover is frayed on the edges, the pages are stained and worn... I really love that book. And as for the movies... I don't watch the movies. I saw the first three as a kid, but stopped following them. I'm one of those snobby book elitists, hahaha. I am kind of interested in that Fantastic Beasts movie that was announced a while back, since there isn't really a book equivalent. I'm not really a movie person, though. I have trouble watching a single episode of an anime, let alone an entire movie. |

| I'm excited for the new movie! It will be great to see a new Harry Potter movie.
As for the movie themselves. I'm not big fan of them. The only two movies I love are the first two. They're pretty spot on with how things happen in the books. I know the second movie cut out the Headless Nick's party, but that's okay. The third movie killed it for me. I hated how everything changed. The set and how things were out of order. Harry got the Fireblot at the end! WTF!! Never finished the fourth movie. I saw the fifth. It was better than the last two. Didn't see the sixth movie and the seventh movie part 1. I went and saw part 2. lol It was okay? At that time I barely remember the 7th book because I only read it once. |

| Ah yes, Harry Potter. Unlike most people, it WAS NOT, in fact my first fandom. (That honor goes to Star Wars and Disney.) It wasn't even the first major book series I read (Perck Jackson was that one). I still love it though. I didn't get to read it until last January of this year, because of religious/family reasons. My favorite book is either Prisoner of Azkaban or Goblet of Fire. Favorite character (besides Harry) is Luna Lovegood. |
