Post-a-Day HP Meme
While I'm not into HP at large anymore, I thought this would be interesting.
Fair warning: Harry/Hermione is my HP OTP to the point that I haven't read the last book (just the good H/Hr moments people were kind enough to post) and I stopped going to the movies after OotP.
01. Discuss how you got into Harry Potter
Given US publication dates, I'm going to guess that it was in 1999. I no longer worked in a bookstore, so the rumors and rumblings of an interesting new kids' series took longer to reach me than they might have. I went into a B&N one afternoon and spotted a display of this Harry Potter book I'd heard something about. I picked it up and started reading.
And came up for air in chapter 3. I bought the book, took it home, and finished it that night.
I bought the CoS hardback the next week. My husband gave me the PoA hardback for Christmas and I was sunk.
I didn't really get into the online fandom for a while. I found a small HP messageboard in 2000 to talk about GoF and then was asked to moderate it. Through the people there I found out about Fiction Alley and after that I started my first fanfic and was a goner for about five years.
