[HPFGU-London] Getting to Know You

[Sam Edwards]

I'm sorry to have missed you on Sunday. I ended up giving twelve eight-year-olds a Harry Potter quiz at my nephew's birthday party instead.

I'll introduce myself anyway and hope to get to the next meet-up.

I'm Sam, 29, married to Mike and mother of Tabitha, (2 1/2) and Hermione, (yes really, 11 months.) We live in Oxfordshire. I'm an at-home mum at the moment although I qualified as a nurse last year. (Good luck to Jo:) )

I discovered Harry Potter three years ago when I was asked to read a bit of PS to my nephew and found myself more engrossed than he was. I discovered the fandom in the desperate wait for OoP to be released last year. I don't think I've ever posted to the main HPFGU list because I'm always too far behind in posts to have anything new or interesting to add. I do enjoy the weekly chat though. I get away with sharing half-formed ideas there.

Speaking of half-formed ideas...

Would anyone be interested in exploring Britain a bit in future meet ups? I'm more of a quiet pub garden kind of girl myself and I couldn't help noticing an attractive-looking little village called Snape on a map of Suffolk. There was a Flitwick somewhere near Bedford too, although I don't know anything about it yet. Then there's always the film locations, we could have a series of day trips/weekends to make up a Harry Potter pilgrimage.

What does everyone think? I've got a nasty feeling this is where I find out even other adult Harry Potter fans think I'm a bit barmy;)
