I guess people would say that I'm not a true potterhead because I didn't start reading Harry Potter when it was released. Who could blame me? I was never into books when I was a little kid. I was a late bloomer. I regretted hating Harry Potter ever since.
When I was a little girl, I was afraid of everything. The first Harry Potter movie I have ever watched was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It was on the big screen and I was a little kid then. I remembered how cool I thought it was, but then the Basilisk came in. I remembered how frightened I was. I was scared of Harry Potter ever since.
During my high school days, I finally developed my love for reading. The first thing I read was Percy Jackson. I kept reading and reading. I wanted to be challenged. One day during band class, I saw a higher class man reading something thick. She was reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Then and there I wanted to read Harry Potter.
After that, Harry Potter has changed my life. People might say I'm obsessed and shit. But they don't know what they're missing. I was so happy when I saw a copy of Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows on our shelves. I clearly remember that we had the whole set when we were young. I asked mum where they were, she told me that the carpenters who built our house stole them all.
I built a shrine. Yes, a shrine. It's not complete though, and I think it would take years till I'm satisfied.
I promised myself that I would buy a book every week. For now, I have already bought Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets. Yes, with my own money. Oh, and I have bought Quidditch through the Ages and Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them.
After I have completed the series, I plan to complete the uniform. I know someone who can make me a robe. The only problem I have is the vest/sweater. I have to buy it in eBay. It's extremely expensive though. But I know it's all worth it.
When I complete the series and the uniform, I really plan on spending my savings on a broom. I'm still thinking of what I'll be having. Either a Nimbus 2000 or a Firebolt. It sucks that no one's selling a Nimbus 2001, I'd like to buy that. Afterwards, I'd like to have a Time-turner and the locket of Slytherin. Actually, I want all the Horcruxes. Scratch that, I want everything. I plan on buying replicas. I know the perfect site on where to buy them.
In SFU, I'm known to be the hardcore potterhead. I guess that's way better than having a reputation of being a Directioner. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be a directioner, but I'm more of a Potterhead. Harry Potter is part of my life, it has made me the person who I am today. Right now, I'm rereading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
While at school, I'm also at Hogwarts. Our finals just finished. It's a site called hexrpg. Bettina introduces it to me. It's awesome. I seriously feel like I'm in the world of Harry Potter. It's amazing! Well, right now it's summer break, so I get to go back on September. I seriously can't wait.
I was stupid for thinking that Harry Potter was something that I could skip on. I'm lucky to have discovered Harry. He is both my best friend and my savior.
