I wish I could just talk to people about Harry Potter, but most of the time it becomes “Who’s a bigger fan/who knows it better” battle and I hate it.
Love the picture.
Also, when I gave a speech on J.K. Rowling at school I dressed up in HP stuff and a bunch of random people told me they liked my outfit and one guy showed me his Deathly Hallows tattoo. I’ll probably never speak to those people again, but it was amazing us strangers had such a connection..
My point is that some people may only be concerned about the size of their knowledge or love for HP, but there are also people out there that just want to share int he magic with you (:

It makes me angry that those of you call yourselves Harry Potter Fans when you haven’t seen the last 2 movies, Get over it. The magic will only die if you believe it’s over.
Believe in the magic and it will always be there.

I would much rather be called a scarhead than a potterhead.

MINE XD
I seriously really like the Hunger Games. It’s a different subject matter and a different age group. I definitely believe it’s okay to like both. But when I read confessions from people who say they’ve loved Harry Potter for so long and then completely give up on it in favour of another book series, I want to smack them. Don’t give up on one in favour of the other.
Presumably, every one of you has at least one talent: i.e. school work, drawing, painting, writing, cooking, sewing, sculpting, HTML, Photoshop, etc. Right? So imagine if you were doing your thing, and some angry and hateful stranger came flying in and backspaced what you were writing, over-salted your dish, smashed your clay, crossed out all of the answers on your homework, dumped paint on your canvas or tore what you were sewing in half? I image you would not sit back and agree that yes, they are right and you were wrong. Of course the way you were making YOUR creation was not the CORRECT way to do it. Let me teach you two words. They are “creative” and ”license.” Together, they make CREATIVE LICENSE. Do you know who has these magical things? JKR, David Yates, Mike Newell, and Chris Columbus. Their jobs are to write books and make movies—VERY important books and movies. A lot of pressure lay on their shoulders to produce quality work, fast. So now, I want you to put yourself in their shoes. Could YOU have directed a Harry Potter film any better than them? I won’t even ask if you could have written the books better, because the answer is no. What the directors took from the films HAD to be taken out. If Momma Rowling left something out, she had a reason for it. Not only did these incredible people have Warner Brothers, the cast, and each other breathing down their necks, but now the fans, the people who are supposed to love the outcome no matter what, are tearing apart their work LIKE THEY COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER. So, in my opinion, if you haven’t read the books: you’re still a fan. If you haven’t seen the movies: you’re still a fan. If the only thing you can do is sit down and point out the minute flaws of the most incredible story/film series/franchise ever to grace the planet: you are not a fan. If you could have done it better, don’t talk down on it. (And you couldn’t have.)
Sincerely,
This fandom can be the ugliest.
This blog is what’s going to keep the magic alive.
