I ♥ HP

In my life I have watched a bajillion different movies (I tried to make a rough calculation and I gave up completely) and I have gone to the theater so many times with so many different people that there aren't many movies that give me an experience I really remember.

Here's a serious exception to that: Harry Potter.

I heard about him from my best friend from in 5th grade. She had read the first book and loved it. She said it was a series and more books were coming out. I was all about princesses and fairies and unicorns but I wasn't into wizards.

I finally read the books after the third had just come out. I was more obsessed with those characters and that story line than Miley is with sticking out her tongue and waving it around in an inappropriate way. I tore thru each book in hours. I couldn't put them down.

I waited impatiently for the next books to come out. I remember getting the 4th book and being SO PUMPED it was so long. The bigger the better. Then books 5, 6, and finally 7 came out and a part of me died when I finished that last book. Because I knew it was over.

BUT they had started making movies. THANK DUMBLEDORE. I went to every midnight opening. I dragged 3 different boyfriends (at different times, relax) and countless friends to the movies but once those lights went down I was in it. I was hangin' out with Harry, Hermionie and Ron, I was learning magical shit, hating Malfoy, and finding Horcruxes. I loved every minute of those experiences.

And when the final movie came out, again, I was devestated. Even more so than after the last book. The franchise was over. The story had ended. And there I was, 22 years old, still waiting for my Hogwarts letter and I didn't know what to do.

I firmlyyy believe Harry Potter is the reason (and Tom's even mentioned it was) Tom and I are dating. (and I will eventually tell that story) and for months, Lily would only go to sleep if one of the movies was playing on the TV when we went to bed. I have Harry Potter Scene It, a Hogwarts pinterest board, and have re-read the books more than a couple times each.

Tom's family talks movies a lot and when they talk about an actor, they turn to me and go, "you know, Dolores Umbridge" and I'm like "ahhhh right!"

Harry Potter had grown up with me. He had "killed" Voldemort 8 times, and now I was left with nothing. Except for that stupid epilogue that I hated. My best friend's initials are HP so duh we extra obsessed over it.

But now, that heartache can be temporarily eased.

JK Rowling is teaming up with Warner Bros. again and they are making a new movie!

 I tweeted about it and got the response I expected:


 I mean HP won't be making an appearance but it's based on another book Rowling wrote (that I've obv read) called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. It's a very fast read cuz it's in the form of a field guide rather than a novel which makes me interested in how they are going to make the movie. 

 The Refinery29 article is here but you can google it and get a million hits about it already. I'm VERY excited to jump back into the wizarding world whenever it is this movie comes out. And you better be pumped about it too otherwise we aren't friends.

 Ok, fine. We can still be friends but I'm gonna "petrificus totalus" the shit out of you. And if you like Twilight more than HP then we straight up can not be friends.

 Nerdy enough for you? Also this is my favorite pin-
