The Harry Potter Experience

[potioncat]

There are 7 HP books and 3 companian books written by JKR; there are short pieces done for charity; there is the JKR web site. We will have 8 Horcruxes, erm, I mean movies. Many books have been published about HP. There are discusion boards, news boards, fan-fic sites, RPGs and video games. There are conventions, bookstore events, library events and Bible studies. Fans have written papers, writen fiction, created art, organized events, and managed web sites. Is there more?

With all this HP stuff out there, what is your Harry Potter experience? Is your base canon or movies? What have you participated in or looked at? What defines the HP experience for you? Do your friends and family have the same experience? Do they tolerate your interest, or do you hide it? And how are you managing now that the books are done?
