I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. It all started about 4 years ago. I was 
spending my summer vacations at the beach, I had ran out of books to 
read, so my neighbor lent the first 4 Harry Potter books. I read all 
of them in a week, and got completely hooked. When I returned home I 
bought the fifth book. I just loved them. I started craving for 
anything Harry Pottery. I joined  discussion groups online, bought 
the movies. Everything.

Two years ago when the Half-Blood Prince came out, I bought the book 
that same evening and stayed all night reading it. I'm planning on 
doing the exact same thing next Friday.

All through Harry's story I have laughed, I have cried. To be honest 
it helped me through a time of depression. There was a time a couple 
of years ago when I was incredibly depressed. I used to lay in my bed 
all day, and believe it or not, Harry was my only company. When I 
imersed into his magical universe, it seemed that my problems 
vanished for a while, and for that short period of time I was fine 
with the universe. It may seem sad that I only got comfort from 
reading the adventures of some pre-adolescent kids. I felt all the 
emotions Harry went throu, I enjoyed to watch him grow, to watch him 
fight the adversity and come out on top...

I fell in love with some characters, specially with Sirius, his long-
lost godfather. I felt for him. I pictured him as a real life person, 
like the kind of man I could fall for. I imagined him as a strong, 
sexy man, he was the portrait of my ideal man. That man I long for, 
the man I've waited so long for. When JK Rowling killed him in The 
Order of Phoenix I was devastated, up until this day I don't truly 
believe he's really dead, I'm hoping for a come back of some kind. 
When I say the new movie on Wednesday I was so excited because he got 
so much screen time. The director portraited him exactly like I had 
imagined him, he came to life, and for a couple of hours he was a 
real person, not just a book character.

I also adore the evil-looking potions master, the enigma that is 
Severus Snape. I have debated for years whether he is good or bad. I 
desperately want him to be on the good side. I find him extremelly 
sexy, I enjoy each and every one of his scenes, I love the way he 
talks, walks, and acts. I specially love the way he curls his lips. 
So hot. I'm expecting a lot of 'screen' time in The Deathly Hallows. 

So this week has been really special to all Harry Potter fans, we got 
the fifth movie, and the final book in the series is due a week from 
today. We've all been waiting for this final installment for years, 
we're expecting a master piece, a work of art that ties all the lose 
ends we've had for many years. A chance to see what Jo has planned 
for over ten years, to finally see what the future holds for our 
beloved characters. To all Harry Potter fans out there, Happy Harry 
Week!
