Harry Potter (for lack of a beter title)

As I sat down at my computer, I decided I felt like blogging. Then I realized I didn't know what the hell I wanted to write about. I opened up iTunes and decided to catch up on listening to MuggleCast. I remember listening to the first 5-ish episodes way back when they first started podcasting (around my freshman year of high school, I think). I don't know why I ever stopped. Anyway, I started listening to them again during the summer of 2008 (right before I started college) because well, I had nothing to do that summer. I think MuggleCast is one of those things that makes me realize how big a Harry Potter* fan I really am. I've been visiting MuggleNet since early middle school, and still keep up with the news in the fandom. I was never really a huge part of the fandom (didn't have a huge website or a wrock band or anything), but still shared the same love for Harry Potter that so many others that grew up with it do, too.

I wanted to take this blog somewhere different. I don't know why I started talking about MuggleNet and MuggleCast, haha. Anyway... I've had times when I'm not as into Harry Potter as I used to be. Then there are times where I am still the super excited Potter fan that I was when I first discovered it. However, there was one thing that kinda re-sparked my love for the series and reminded me of the feeling Harry Potter gave me through middle school. That "thing" would be the song "This Isn't Hogwarts," by Hank Green. I remember listening to it and being like "I know this feeling!" Gah! Listening back to all the songs Hank's written about Harry Potter, I pretty much agree with all of them.



I guess the fact that I kinda live on the internet has made me a bigger Harry Potter fan than I'd intended to be. I don't think I'll ever stop being one. I can't picture myself becoming as obsessed with anything else for such a long period of time as I was with Harry Potter. Unless... y'know... I fall in love one day. Bahaha.

Thanks, nerdfighteria and MuggleNet (and The Leaky Cauldron, too!) for always being here to give me my Harry Potter fix.


*Whenever I say "Harry Potter," I don't actually mean Harry himself (or Daniel Radcliffe, for that matter). I'm talking about the book series, movies, the fandom, and whatever else comes with being part of the Harry Potter world.
