30 Day - Harry Potter Meme - Day 1

[snogged]

Clearly, I can't get enough of these post-every-day memes. Hope you're not sick of them yet!

Snagged from mypetconcubine

01. Discuss how you got into Harry Potter and why you still love it?

I remember being on a bus heading towards Noah's Ark (the waterpark) with my church and sitting next to my best friend Rachel. In front of us, her sister Sarah was reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I asked Sarah if I could look at her book and decided that it sounded interesting enough to try. My mom got me the first three books for Christmas that year and I devoured them. It wasn't long before my mom and I joined in the madness that was rushing to the bookstore on opening day to find the next one.

I still love it because even at 25 years old, those books still carry magic for me. I've re-read each one (with the exception of book 7 for some reason), I've participated in the fandom in various ways (most notably, Plano Hogwarts, which is sadly dying now), and I've even purchased a few W-Rock CDS (most notably, Draco and the Malfoys).

Ooooh! Awesome meme - I'll probably snag from you when I get back from Orlando (which will also give me time to start my re-read!).

So many awesome memories attached to HP!! :D

Sounds good, hunny!

This just makes me want to re-read the books. I'll probably start doing that tomorrow.

Love your answer.

I am re-reading the books right now. A book a week. Getting ready for Part 1 of Deathly Hallows.

I really should start re-reading them, but I've got other books in the line first.
