It has to do with purity of character perception. If I read fanfic I'd

the "feel" I got from a fanfic version of a character would blend over 
into the "feel" I get from the book version of the character. I'm into 
experiencing JKR's vision and trying to figure out *her* characters, 
and until I have the whole vision I don't want to muddy the waters. 
I'm not saying there isn't great fanfic out there.


Exactly the reason why I don't read fanfic either. I want to know the 
characters J. K. Rowling has created, not someone else's 
interpretation of those characters.
