Aha! I'm proven wrong once again! This shall teach me for trying 
(unsuccessfully) to make somewhat sweeping statements when I should know 
better.

Your first obsession, hm? So did you fight it, deny your fixation? Or did 
you fall headfirst into obsession with glee? Did you not recognize your 
obsession until someone else pointed it out? Are you now seeking out other 
obsessions?

I've always been obsessed with reading for as long as I can remember. As a 
direct result, I've had numerous obsessions on various books and authors. 
The inevitable "obsessions" with actors and shows came about when I got 
older. Then fixations on singing groups and musicals happened. Obsessions 
come and go, depending on how much material there was for me to obsess 
about.

Harry Potter has been my strongest obsession, thus far. It gripped me in a 
vise that rather surprised me at first but then I gratefully welcomed it.
