Title: You Know You're Addicted to Harry Potter When...


bluejeanbaby - February 27, 2004 01:57 AM (GMT)
Just list ways that you know you're addicted to Harry Potter.

YKYATHPW:

You see someone's name on a roll call sheet at school whose last name is Snape and you think that they are so lucky!

You carry a HP book with you pretty much wheverever you go.

You join HP boards just to talk to other people about HP cause your family is sick of hearing about it.

You convince your friends/ co-workers, who have very little interest in HP, to read the books and watch the movies because all you ever talk about is HP.

You relate things in the books to RL.

You spend more money than should be legal to spend on any one franchise.

You already have plans, and the time off (if you work), for the premiere of PoA, which opens at midnight, but you're going to be in line by 6pm.

You have a blanket with the Hogwarts crest on it and you sleep with it on your bed every night.

You have a Nimbus 2000.

You have a real wand.

I think that I've sufficiently embarrassed myself for now. Your turn.

You have considered being a Harry Potter specialist when you grow up. :blush:

bluejeanbaby - March 26, 2004 12:34 AM (GMT)
OMG, Wendy! I could sooo do that!

I wish that I could be majoring in Harry Potter.

kittykat - May 23, 2004 03:08 AM (GMT)
I've read the books and watched the movies to many times to count! :nosweat:

Lylian_Mae - May 24, 2004 02:04 PM (GMT)
When you buy all the books you can surrounding the existence of Harry Potter for research.

When you buy the books that are refrenced in the books surrounding the existence of Harry Potter for further study into the mind of the creator. :lolstars:

bluejeanbaby - May 25, 2004 02:07 AM (GMT)
When you wear a Harry Potter shirt to work and someone asks you about the upcoming movie and youactually jump up and down on the tips of your toes because you're just that excited about it! :blush:

Wendy - June 7, 2004 11:38 PM (GMT)
When you have seen PoA 3 times, and it's only been out 4 days. :wink:

Lylian_Mae - June 8, 2004 02:13 PM (GMT)
When you want a knitting machine just to make your own POA style sweaters for you and your friends. :) (that's my xmas present)

When you're at work & looking up HP News.

bluejeanbaby - June 8, 2004 02:53 PM (GMT)
When you spend over $200 on a costume for the Harry Potter midnight showing. (That's not an exaggeration on the amount I actually spent.)

When you go to the premiere and stand for 3 hours to see Rupert's face!

Wendy - June 10, 2004 01:32 AM (GMT)
When your family thinks your insane because you are always humming the tunes from the Harry Potter movies. :rolleyes:

You wish that you could actually wear your school uniform all the time.
You actually squeal aloud, in public, when your friend tells you that you're getting an autographed pic of one of the actors.
You refer to the actors by their first names only like you actually know them.
You have and/or are getting an autographed pic(s) of your favorite characters.

Wendy - June 14, 2004 04:13 AM (GMT)
You have memorized all your favorite lines in PoA, because you've seen it 4 times already!

BOTH of those sound JUST like me! :crazylol:

Lylian_Mae - July 25, 2004 12:56 PM (GMT)
You travel over 70 miles to see your any Harry Potter star regardless if he/she is your favorite.

You name you cat Crookshanks.
You name your other dog Mooney.
You get a rat, 2 dogs, and a horse with antlers strapped to its head and you let them free in a paddock to reinact the Marauders Messers Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs.
The only candy you eat is offical Harry Potter candies.
You try to invent your own candy/food from descriptions in the HP Novels.


darcyblack - July 25, 2004 02:09 PM (GMT)
-You whisper Lumos when you turn on a flashlight and Alohomora when you use your keyless entry for your car.

-When you call your friend (long distance) to talk for a half hour about what house elves REALLY look like.


bluejeanbaby - July 25, 2004 06:33 PM (GMT)
When you're at work, supposed to be working and kind of are, but are at your favotire HP discsussion board.

When you list HP as one of your all time favorite heroes.

When you stop by Barnes and Noble just to see if they have anything new HP and you end up spending MORE money on a book you probably don't really need but is really cool anyway and said book happens to be in your bag right now.

darcyblack - July 26, 2004 01:55 AM (GMT)
the B&N thing only works if the book you bought was HP related......
actually....I just want to know if there is a new HP "something" out and you bought it.

bluejeanbaby - July 27, 2004 02:20 AM (GMT)
I did just buy a new HP book, and it's in my book right now. I don't know how new it is, but it's been updated to contain stuff from OotP. It's this one.

I also have this one and this one and oh yeah, there's this one.

I have A LOT of Harry Potter books. But these are some of my favorite ones that have to do with the mysteries and magical stuff behind HP.

And to not spam:
YKYOWHPW you use HP as a fail safe topic of discussion with people.

darcyblack - July 27, 2004 03:34 AM (GMT)
You've dressed up as Harry Potter every Halloween since you can
remember, and you still do - even though you're well past the legal
drinking age.

You trot around telling people (very loudly) that your last name
is Potter and that yes, you're related to THAT Potter - he's your
second cousin.

You have a VERY serious sexual attraction to one of the (adult)
characters knowing full well that they are fictional.
(*cough*-Sirius.)

You visit Harry Potter fansites many, many times a day, looking
for anything new in the news about Harry.

You proclaim everything to be "wicked" and "bloody brilliant."

You check the toilet for emerging basilisks before sitting down.

You grab your friend's tea cup, look into it, then scream, "It's
the Grim!"

You keep insisting that you're a squib when you can't get
"Wingardium Leviosa" to work.

darcyblack - July 28, 2004 02:04 AM (GMT)
You compare prospective guys in your life to HP characters (e.g. "He's a Lupin." or "He's like Sirius.")
I did this today..... :P
That's what made me think about it.

bluejeanbaby - July 29, 2004 12:10 AM (GMT)
I TOTALLY do that!

You look at your friends' personalities, even those that aren't into HP, and sort them into one of the houses.

Blue

darcyblack - July 29, 2004 04:05 AM (GMT)
You check an HP news site (Mugglenet) every morning with your coffee instead of CNN....

You're having a bad day and coming to a discussion board is the highlight.

Your parents leave you alone if you tell them that you'll be on the computer talking to other people about HP theories because it means that they no longer have to.

You spend close to $500 on HP Legos which are proudly displayed in the living room for all to see.

People think that you are possessed by the Devil because you read HP....and you just laugh.

darcyblack - August 1, 2004 04:05 AM (GMT)
When you listen over the phone to your best friend singing Happy Birthday to Harry while she is in the middle of an airport (Singing to a LARGE Harry doll BTW) and you don't really think it's weird at all.

bluejeanbaby - August 1, 2004 04:22 PM (GMT)
YKYATHPW:

You want a LARGE HP doll. Actually, I really want a Ron or a Draco, but I'd settle for Harry.

darcyblack - August 1, 2004 06:24 PM (GMT)
YKYATHPW:

You are a grown woman and, instead of looking for a real man, you just want a life-size Sirius doll.

bluejeanbaby - August 18, 2004 07:04 PM (GMT)
YKYATHPW:

You're at a movie and the credits are rolling and you see the name Oliver Wood and you think to yourself, "No wonder he didn't have time for Quidditch in PoA."

darcyblack - August 18, 2004 11:03 PM (GMT)
YKYATHPW:

HP stuff is a "must do" part of your day. Like eating or sleep.

bluejeanbaby - August 19, 2004 02:10 AM (GMT)
YKTYATHPW:

You name your car after something from HP.
