Harry Potter When did you first discover Harry Potter?: I was in grade 7 or so and the trailer for HP and the Philosopher's Stone had just came out and I promised my cousin that once I'd see the movie I'd read the first book (at the time I had no interest in reading a book about "a school with different houses and a kid who catches a gold ball but I loved movies and the trailer seemed epic). Favorite book/movie?: I really like Deathly Hallows both the book and the movie. I adore PoA (the book). Favorite character(s) or ship(s)?: I ship Remus/Sirius, Severus/Harry and Draco/Harry but I love a whole slew of other characters include Regulus and Gellert. And also femmeslash Favorite moment in the books or movie?: So many to choose from! In the books I adored any moments that showed us the past and how expensive the Wizarding world was actually. Favorite fandom moment?: *ponder* Please come back to me at a later time :P

Name: Kaitlyn Location: Montana House you would sort yourself into (or that you’ve been sorted into): Puff, but sometimes I think Slytherin wouldn't be too bad of a fit either.
Harry Potter When did you first discover Harry Potter?: It was the fall of 1999. I remember seeing other people had been reading it at school, and I asked my mom if we could read it. She suddenly pulled out the first three books from the cabinet, and suggested we read them. So of course I said yes. I was 12, in 7th grade. I remember a few months later, we got my Yorkie, Chip (who we no longer have), it was his first night home, in like, mid-October, and we were just finishing up the Sorcerer's Stone, and he was just whining and crying the entire way through the end. So whenever I re-read the book, I think of him. That Halloween, I dressed up like Harry...way before dressing up like Harry was cool. No one knew who I was that year. It was fun. Ah, good memories. Favorite book?: Prisoner of Azkaban Favorite movie?: Probably either Sorcerer's Stone,

Harry Potter When did you first discover Harry Potter?: probably in high school but when I started reading it is something else entirely: but for when I started reading let's just copy the following - Between 1998 and 2007 I had diligently avoided everything associated with Harry Potter because I had thought that it (like, say, Pokemon or 'N SYNC) was part of a culture aimed at people five to ten years younger than myself

Harry Potter When did you first discover Harry Potter?: I was in junior high school. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I actually resisted for a long time out of spite, because several friends were trying to force me into reading the books, and my young mind could not understand how something could be deserving of such hype. I finally read the first book just to get them off my back, and ended up finishing it in a day and demanding someone give me the next. Favorite book?: Prisoner of Azkaban. Favorite movie?: I've never actually watched any of the movies. At least, not with enough conscious thought behind my viewing to have a favorite one. Favorite character(s) or ship(s)?: Remus/Sirius Favorite moment in the books or movie?: Oh gosh, I'm not entirely sure. Do you or have you participated in fandom? (i.e., wrote fic, make graphics, joined a comm, etc.): Well, I've been a member of a few different sorting

Making friends What do you look for in an LJ friend? (or twitter, tumblr, etc, if you prefer): I like it when people write about themselves and what's going on in their lives, rather than just purely fandom content. I want to get to know you when we're friends, because I often do end up sharing a lot of myself on my journal. Do you have a friending policy?: Nope. Entries are locked by default, but I'd be happy to add. Just let me know. And if you find yourself not interested in what I have to say, no hard feelings if you remove me. What do you post in your journal?: I post what's going on in my life. I post photographs. I post things I've got on my mind. I share links, videos, and pictures that interest me. Lately I haven't been posting nearly as much as I usually do, but I'm reying to get back into it. Obligatory "post a gif or image" section:

I'm jealous of everyone who has gone to Platform 9 3/4! I went to the midnight release parties for the last three books and they were all amazing tbh. Probably the only time I've ever been someplace that had a count down lol.
It was a lot of fun. I really expected the line to be much longer and populated by far more children, but it was almost entirely people my own age, and they were from everywhere in the world. We got to hang out and talk while we waited to get pictures taken, and it was so awesome to get to share the experience with fellow fans.
