A "real" HP fan has already decided to buy as many copies of book 7 
on release day as she has family members who feel the desperate need 
to read it *before* anyone blabs the ending.  (We're up to 3 so far.)

A "real" HP fan loses sleep worrying about her favorite characters.

A "real" HP fan brings up the subject of "Harry Potter" when in the 
company of other adults just to see if she can find another true fan 
(not much luck so far -- thank goodness for HPfGU).
