The Harry Potter series started before I was born, LOL! I think..? Anyway, I'm thirteen now and I read it when I was eleven. *Sniff* Never did I have the thrill of waiting for the next book..:'(

That picture is kinda disturbing. My mum's side of the family dissaproves of Harry Potter, because it's SATANISM. "Oh yes, I am now willing to give my soul to Lucifer..." Sheesh. Yet, they watch stuff like Hellboy and Lord of the Rings.

I rest my case.

BellaCullen96 said:
I've liked the movies since I saw the Sorceror's Stone in theaters, but I became obsessed with Harry Potter when I read the books in 6th grade I think, around 2 years ago when I was probably 11. My sister would try to read me the first book when I was younger, and then I tried reading it by myself, but I couldn't get interested enough in it until I made myself get past the first chapter. I regret not reading sooner, because I didn't have the chance to be waiting for my letter! lol
But even though I only started loving it recently, I am still a HUGE fan of HP :)

I think I was about six. It was when the first movie came out, because my dad then read the book, our whole family saw the movie, and then my dad read the first book to me as a bed time story. All of the Harry Potter books were bedtime stories to me, up until after the fourth one, when I decided to read them on my own.

im an HP fan when i was six or seven,and i have a stick and i keep on saying wengardiumleviosa and alohamora.. the movies i mean,..(i am now 15)
then, last september 2009.. my friend lent me an HP book, because i was clearly addicted of the movies and of snape.. though i dont take it seriously the past few years..

then, after reading the book (OOTP), and after seeing HBP and finding out that i dont really get the movie, i was yelling.. "i need the books NOW!!"

.. then.. that's it, i started buying the books last year, and now im a total fan..

HP took me in one big blow..

Bout 6 or 7. Harry Potter wasn't even that popular then. Everyone else had either never heard of it or had only seen the movies. So I was all alone in my obsession :(
I remember I was playing hide and go seek with my sister and I hid in a closet. That's where I found Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone just lying in there amongst a pile of "rubbish" my parents were going to sell at a garage sale. I decided to start reading it for the heck of it and I couldn't put it down. I don't even know how my parents got that book. They said they just found it lying around and thought it looked dumb.

I was eight or nine, I believe. My brother owned all the books (1-5, at least, as those were the only ones out back then) and one day, I was bored. So I decided to finally begin reading a Harry Potter book, since they were so popular anyway.
And I loved it from the first page (and sentence- "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of numberf our, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much." That was from memory, by the way).
So yeah. I'm extremely glad I happened to be bored that one fateful day, and even gladder that I decided to give Harry a try.

I actually saw the movie first, the first one, when I was in kindergarten. So, around six-ish. I fell in love with it and then my mom forced me to read the entire series. Said I couldn't see the movie if I didn't read the book. It took me FOREVER, but the first one I read was the Prisoner of Azkaban when I was in the 2nd grade and then I ate up the rest of them and have been obsessed ever since!

I was 4 years old when the very first movie (philosopher's stone) came out. The same year on my birthday, I got a gift which was this movie. It was on a tape. I was so excited because the cover looked awesome (hey I was only 4) so I watched it right after I got it and loved it! And I used to watch it so much the tape got ruined, and as soon as the next movie (chamber of secrets) came out, I asked my mom to buy it and she did, practically every year was like that (except it changed from tape to dvd) until last year when I watched it in the movies and this year I'm also watching it there. I started reading the books a few days ago and I'm almost done with the third.

I was 5 when I first discovered him. Sorcerer's Stone was a gift from my kindergarten teacher. Even though I had been reading since age 2, I still had trouble with some of the words. As a result, my mom read it to me as my bedtime story. Iremember sitting up in bed, Hogwarts a clear image in my mind.
Later, when I could read it for myself, I would read at night. Sometimes, I'd fall asleep. I would wake up next morning and find the book on the floor by my bed.
Every year, for my birthday, I would get the next installment. I practically memorized them.
When the first movie came out, my parents took me to see it. I was still young enough for Voldemort to creep me out. When the second movie came out, I saw the preview for it. I clearly remember seeing the Polyjuice sequence. It scared me, so I told my parents I didn't want to see any more of them in the theater.
For six years, I waited openly for the letter. Since then I only harbor the secret hope that it will come.
When book 4 arrived, I read it so fast my mom accused me of skimming. In all honesty, I never skimmed any of the Harry Potter books. Remember that.
When I got book 7, I plunked my self on my bed and started reading. I barely ate. Finally, I got so far in the book that my mom actually TOOK it from me and accuse me of skipping. I took it back next day and finished it in a couple hours.
Recently, I saw the last movie in the theater. It was a birthday present. For my 18th birthday.
Just like all the other Potterheads, I read the books and saw the movies. I had Norbert. I played with sticks, pretending they were wands. I have the Sorcerer's Stone trivia game (and I always win). And I waited for my letter.
However, I have something not even the most die-hard Potterhead has. My birthday is July 31.
That day is my special connection to Harry. I always like to mention that. Of all the Potterheads, I'll probably miss Harry the most. At least I still have the special day. Harry Potter Day.
