I would suggest questions that get at recruitment

How many HP books have you given away?

Loaned?

If you go to parties, do you announce loudly, Who is into Harry
Potter? and gather those with whom to talk?

If you go to meetings, do you regularly survey the members to 
ask who has read HP?

Also, fantasy questions are very, very important

Do you fantasize meeting JKR and becoming friends? influencing some
portion of the next book?

Posting a brilliant post on HP for Grownups and being flooded with 
laudatory responses?

Do you fantasize being in the movie? Consulting about the movie

Winning Jeopardy's HP questions and receiving $50,000 dollars?

Are your fantasies about actually being at Hogwarts and hanging out 
with the younger crowd -- HP, Hermione, Ron, Gred, Forge,etc. --
or teaching with Dumbledore, McGonagall, et aliae

Do you think about raising dragons with Hagrid?

do you muse about comforting Lupin or Black in their loneliness.....

If you are 25 or below, are you thinking seriously about Cho, Fleur,
or Cedric, or Viktor in a non-platonic way...

I think the true test of HP obsessiveness is how much psychic space 
is HP occupying?
