Oh yeah, I mean for me, I had never been involved in *fandom* of any 
sort in my life.

I mean, I certainly now have the books that I am rereading often, 
but I do that with so **many** books that I love.

But thanks to Harry Potter I met several fascinating people whom I 
would not have met otherwise.

And yes, dearest you are one of them.

Honestly guys not because she is a friend, she writes really really 
well. Even if she writes mostly about Snape. MAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
