author_by_night pointed out that today is a HP fandom milestone: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was published, and asked where we were that day

Nice reaction. I have to find mine!

ETA: Just whining about how dark the books got and how I missed Sirius. *Sigh*

Poor Sirius! I remember there was a lot of anger about his death. We all wanted Harry to go live with him and be happy.

Wow, that brings back memories. OotP was the first book that introduced me to the HP fandom. Before that, I'd just been interested but not devoted.

I know! It seems so long ago now. My fandom heyday was during the three year summer and right after OotP, then I went to college and was just too busy until four years later. I loved all the excitement and speculation.
