[HPFGU-OTChatter] Hooked on HP. Can you beat that?

[Firedancer]

Hans, my dear, I'm afraid I can't beat it, but I look at your post and
marvel.  Gosh, but you two are lucky!  Now, I'm going to take the plunge.
Back in the spring of two thousand, I went to a concert with a friend.
Well, we were waiting for the thing to start, when I noticed a lady sitting
behind us, reading aloud to her children from the first H.:. book.  I was
fascinated.  I got a copy of the book on tape from our local library.  I
don't know why, but the day I started reading it, I fell straight to sleep,
as Hagrid would say.  In fact, I fell asleep right when Harry and Hagrid
went to the wizarding bank.  When I woke up, I figured the book wasn't worth
my time.  The funny thing is, about a year later, my life partner's nephew
suggested that we read it.  Well, we gave it a go, and this time it was like
bang, crash, boing-boing, you pick the appropriat sound effect--we were
completely hooked.  Now we want to know where to find t.-shirts, coffee
mugs, etc.  I'd like to find a ring with the Hogwarts coat of arms or
something.  I have the first movie in Spanish, and would like to get the
others in that language.  We have video-described versions of the first two
movies, and   the description helps us both get much more out of the films
since both of us are blind.  I'm a professional keyboardist-singer, and I'd
give anything to get gigs in the Three Broomsticks and the Leaky Caldron.
Ah, well, I can dream, can't I?  We've been having a ball with the main list
and this one as well.  My partner, Littlekat hasn't posted ti this list yet,
but I'm sure she'll drop in soon.  June
