Hi! Ever since I was in about the 1st grade, I had been BEGGING my parents to let me read Harry Potter. In 3rd grade, when they allowed me to read them, I read 5 of the books, completing the series in 4th grade. My friends and I absolutely LOVE Harry Potter, wanting to cosplay as characters, make groups for them, and we even pretend we are the characters in school! In front of our teachers and everything! (Which freaks them out, what with our fake accents and sometimes outfits). I love seeing ANYTHING Harry Potter, including merchandise and games and movies etc. etc. I nearly died of happiness when I saw the first movie in 3rd grade, and ended up speaking in an accent, and I LOVE the games and movies, sometimes I fight over which one is better or not. I LOVED all the merchandise and such I see, and often go into my little Harry Potter fantasy world in my mind. Harry Potter is a big thing in my life, so big I nearly DIED when my Dad said he had gotten Passes for the park. Sadly, I didn't get to see all the cool places since the lines were HUGE, but going inside Hogwarts was like : OoO OMG Dad! That's from this movie, when they did this, and OMG LOOK AT THAT! That's from the fourth book, when Harry has to fight the dragon, and OMG this and OMG that. I nearly DIED from sadness/crying when I saw the preview for Harry Potter part 2, not only because it was the end of the series, but because Fred Weasley (my hypothetical twin's character at school) dies in it. When I went to the movies on the night of the premiere, I was stuck watching a movie with Selena Gomez in it, while the COOLEST people I might have EVER seen were dressed up and talking about Harry Potter outside the rooms. My Dad called them HP freaks, and I nearly burst into tears right there and then. I wanted oh so badly to be with them, cosplaying as Fred and George (my character) Weasley with my BFF, cracking jokes, and pulling pranks and eating every flavor beans (which are amazing! XD). When we saw it two days later, I was like: I got HP RD glasses, I'm keepin em, and I was just staring at the screen like it was a GOD. HP is kind of my obsession, I'm proud to say I'm a "Harry Potter freak".

Why is it important to me. I might as well tell you by now. XD Well, Harry Potter is, as I said before my life. I always loved picking up twigs and using them as wands, playing some good ol Quidditch every now and then, and watching the movies/ reading the books OVER and OVER and OVER again. I go to the movies for fun, to remember quotes I use at my school for reports and such (and I do that, I swear I really do.), for spells in case we can't remember them, and for advice or just to cheer me up. Heck, sometimes I'll go around in public with my friends and be like "Well Fred, where should we go next?" And with the Harry Potter of my group. Well, we're always teasing him cuz he looks like the real deal from I'd say 1st-3rd movie. Harry Potter truly is my life, I'm an obsessed fan, I'm 12 years old, and I wanna say one thing: Thank you Harry Potter for making my life on Earth all the better!
