Opinions and a "real" HP fan.

[Kirstini]

A *real* HP fan 
- didn't waste time mucking about on the Warner Bros. site in the 
week following 20th of June, because they were a little more 
preoccupied with the moral implications of the Black Veil, thankyou 
very much. And besides, they'd already *seen* it all.

- finished their midnight-bought copy of the book half an hour before 
the postman turned up with the Amazon-ordered one.

- talks back at TMTMNBN, and throws things at the screen, 
screaming, "NO! NO-ONE THINKS THAT! IT'S ALL BEEN EDITED OUT!" when 
Tom Felton says "And people think *he's* the heir of Slytherin."

- can remember the name of every character, and doesn't pretend to 
have forgotten that "umm, whassisname that does the Quidditch 
commentary" is called Lee Jordan just in case their friends think 
they're a bit too keen.

- spends hours on end with their nose screwed up at the computer 
screen re-analysing the grabs of JKR's notebook in the light of OoP.

- is awakened when significant other realises that they've fallen 
asleep re-reading OoP for the tenth time, and that the weight of the 
book is prematurely ageing the reader's face.

- screamed "NOOOOOO! YOU CAN'T LET HIM DO THAT!" at the parents of 
the small boy who flicked open his copy of OoP at the last page 
whilst in the queue for the till.

Not that I want to give anyone the impression that I'm slightly 
unbalanced, or anything...
