How about a poll?  "Are you obsessed with HP?"  (Anyone on this list 
who says no has his/her vote thrown out, since he/she is clearly in 
deep denial.)  "Is this your first obsession?"  "Is this your first 
literary obsession?" etc.

HP's pretty much a first for me.  But it hasn't spread to other 
things in my life (I have so far failed to get obsessed with doing 
the dishes, e.g., or getting my work done early enough not to give 
myself an anxiety attack), so I wouldn't say it's turned me into an 
obsessor.  I obsess on only one topic.  Who has time for anything 
else?  <g>
