I was 12 years old when the first Harry Potter book was released in the United States, just one year older than Harry in the books. Harry Potter has been with me ever since, it's been a huge part of my life, it was there during the bad times and the good (and it has helped me get through some of the worst times). I grew up with the books. I grew up with Harry Potter--the character. It has and always will be my number one fannish obsession. Now I'm 25. And it'll never change. I'll be in love with Harry Potter and the inspiring Jo Rowling forever.
