[HPforGrownups] Harry Potter Burn-Out

Calm down, Anita, everything's going to be all right.  this isn't a disease, it's just a phase, and probably a short-lived one at that.  We all need a break from even our closest loved ones now and then, and Dear Harry is no exception.  Tell Harry you need some space.  After a short while, you'll come running back and it will all be fresh and magical again.  Try some fanfic (if that's your thing) that you've never read before.  Maybe write some of your own.  Listen to the books on tape or CD.  What ever you do, don't panic.  this is normal in every relationship.  you still love Harry, you just need a little space, that's all.

  Er.
  So I've never posted anything before...um...well, this is off-topic, 
  and I tried to find out where to post it but I kinda got lost in 
  jargon and started getting scared and whimpery and so maybe someone 
  can have mercy on my poor tired little brain and tell me in 
  monosyllabic words where I should go from now on?

  What a disclaimer. I should just shut up now, as my actual question 
  will never top the drama of that first paragraph.

  Anyway, um...a very interesting thing happened when I came home from 
  school a few months ago. I pulled out my cherished GoF (I didn't take 
  it to school, I figured it would probably scare my roommates that I 
  could quote HP chapters) and began to read...and I found myself 
  becoming incredibly bored after ten minutes.

  What the heck, man?

  And so I began to skim through all my HP books; picking out choice 
  Snape scenes and poring over Percy (yay!) snippets and things. I 
  found that was all I could handle. I can't read an entire chapter at 
  a time, when I used to read and reread the books for hours. It's very 
  distressing. I actually have to resort to LIFE to entertain me. 
  Whoever heard of such a thing? *frowns* 

  And so my kvestion is this. Has anyone ever suffered from symptoms 
  such as these before, and if so, how does one overcome this disease? 

  Please, help me before my disinterestedness spirals out of control! 
  Agh! Oh, the humanity!

  skim over her first post)
