You Know You're a Harry Potter Fan When
We know who we are. Some people might call us obsessed. Some people might call us crazy. But when it comes to Harry Potter, there's nothing wrong with that!! How do you recognize other Potterheads? What are the signs of a TRUE Harry Potter fan?
Here are just a few symptoms of Harry Potter obsession. . .
- You know what house you’re in and you have a scarf with your house colors on it. (You’ve taken the sorting hat quizzes a million different times!)
- You’ve tried every flavor of Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. Even earwax and vomit.
- You were a wizard for Halloween. 5 years in a row.
- When you check the mail, you look around for owls, desperately hoping for your Hogwarts letter.
- You started a Dumbledore's Army club at your school to fight real-world problems.
- You stand up and shout at the movie screen, “That’s not what happened in the book!”
- You've lost track of how many times you have read each book, but you know it's more than 10.
- You are seriously thinking about naming your future son Albus Severus.
- You have a birthday party for Harry every year on July 31.
- You screamed very loudly when you heard that J.K. Rowling might write another children's book.
Now it’s YOUR turn to complete this sentence in the Comments. You know you’re a Harry Potter fan when . . .

You own every dvd, every book in hardback and paperback, you have the set of books in hardback and paperback, and even though you have the dvd's in advance, you still go to the movies anyway... This isn't me, just my friend.

…When you're writing a Harry Potter fanfic and you have decided to make your main character's sister a rabid Kenmare Kestrels fan.
…When you have decided, length and all, what your wand would be and are seriously disappointed that you didn't get it on Pottermore.

OMG VOLDY IS A VAMPIRE :( :( :(
anyways....you know you're a HP fan when you are in a black out (like I was last night T_T) and you keep taking your fake wand and yelling 'LUMOS!' (I just resolved to turning on my laptop and watching a show on it :P)
Comment #23 | Posted by: me (brainyathena :P) on January 20, 2013 at 08:53 PM
...when you decide to find the real Hogwarts.
...when you use chopsticks as wands and noodles as jets of magic.
...when you mutter spells.
...when you memorize all the spells ever mentioned.
...when you know just by watching the movie that THAT'S SOOOOO NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BOOK!!! (I get so angry when they do that!)
Eh, that's all I can think of for now...
