Harry Potter discussion

My favorite Harry Potter memory: sitting with my sister on her bed with my copy of "Half Blood Prince" the day it came out, reading it together like giddy schoolgirls. I read faster, and I got really frustrated having to wait for her to catch up each pair of pages before I could keep reading! what's your favorite HP memory?

My favorite Harry Potter memory:
Lying on my bed, in a rainy day, reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...

Fun! I read that one in one day. Finished at 3 am!

My favorite memory was also reading Harry Potter with my sister. We were reading the Deathly Hallows. My sister reads much faster than me. When she read the part where Dobby dies she ran out of the room crying. I was shocked knowing in ten more pages someone was going to die.

Oh wow!!! That's crazy!!!

Standing in line at midnight to get the book Deathly Hallows and just making friends with everyone around us. We were playing trivia and had pizza ordered. It was just a lot of fun.

Yes, it was fun. I love having movie marathons. My friends and I try to do the same whenever our schedules match up.

Skipping school just so that I could read Half Blood Prince on the day it released.
Or driving to a bookshop early in the morning to get Deathly Hallows. :-)

when Snape said "Always"

Going to see the last movie with my friends

Mine too... We all went to see the Deathly Hallows Part 2! Really fun...
And reading the first chapter of the first book and the last chapter of the last.
I still remember the opening and closing paragraphs by heart.

My favourite "Harry Potter Memory" was when my whole family went to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 on the first day it can out. It was awesome!! I will admit the books are much better for any series not just Harry Potter. Books have better detail

My other favourite memory was when I finished the 5th Harry Potter book at theist few chapters.

I finished at 5:30 am!!

Ya I finish way to many books at like 2:30A.M

My fav memory of Harry Potter was when I started laughing while reading it in the middle of class when everyone else was silent

My favorite memory has to bee when I stayed up all night reading Order of the Phoenix for the first time. I finished at like 10 in the morning, and fell asleep sitting up with the book.
:) great times.

You guys make me want to reread with all your memories.

One of my favourite Harry Potter moments is the first time I saw the first movie. I was quite young and I hadn't read the books yet, so it was my first encounter with Harry. I watched it with my older brother (he had seen it before) and when we came to the end when you see Voldemorts face on the back of Quirrels head he warned me and said: "Look away now. There will be a man with two faces!"
So I did what he said and didn't dare to look until he said so. And that's how I missed the whole last part with the stone and Voldemort. :P
But I think that was sweet of him, and he probably thought it was kind of scary since he told me to look away. Anyway I never really understood the movie until I saw it again when I was a little older :P

First harry potter film. We didn't preorder tickets. My dad drove to many theaters on the opening day, looking for opening day tickets, because he knew how much I loved the books. He succeeded and we saw the first movie together that evening. :)

Runner up: getting my copy of the deathly hallows 12 hours earlier because I was in Beijing.

My favorite memory was when i got my hands on the deathly hallows!
I spent the entire day reading it and i finished it, i felt quite accomplished with my life because i finished the harry potter series !

in fourth grade i was reading the half blood prince and i started laughing at Ron while the reat of the class was silent. i looked up and everyone was staring at me but my teacher was smileing!

Same for me too!!

When my mom gave me the whole book set in a box meant to look like Harry's trunk for Christmas a few years ago

Lining up for the last book with a friend, and many others, outside a bookshop early morning on the day of its release. And then not watching TV or reading any newspapers until I finished it lest I come across any spoilers.

And I agree with Laura, Eleanor and Rebecca. I visibly shivered too.

My favorite memory happened in 2001 when i was 10 years old. I was just sitting in my room with nothing to do when my dad came in, handed me a copy of the Sorcerer's Stone. He told me I should read because he thought I would really like it. I started reading and could not put it down. That book really opened me up to the joys of reading.

hey how do some people know about whom neville married later and what was percy's son's name? where do they get those from?

When I read HArry Potter and the Deathly Hallows the very first time. I bought it, went straight home, layed on the bed and started reading it. Before I knew, I had read half of it. I can't even describe the emotions I felt. I wanted to know what happens next, but at the same time I wanted to slow down and make it last forever.

My favourite memory is when our year 3 teacher sat down every morning in school to read a chapter from the first HP book and the class was just all crowded around her because we all loved it so much.

Second is when we had a potions class in school because my teacher was a huge fan of HP.

seriously I want to know who Neville marries and what percy named his son and who he married and how did you no he even had a son? seriously I want all the details. or tell me how I can find out plz I am dying on the inside now.

According to Jo, Neville married Hannah Abbot, there's an interview where she says what happened to all the characters after the books here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVzhu...
hope this helps!!! xx

Definitely making it last for as long as I could. I've always been a HP fan, but the truth is that I'd never realized how much a fan I was until the end was truly coming. When the 8th movie was about to come out, I decided to re read all the books, to watch all the movies all over again in two days (it's not possible to watch them all in just one day), I subscribed to a lot of fan pages and it was all I could talk about
I guess I was trying to hold on to it that much, because it was my childhood, my mom used to read the book to me as a bedtime story, and I didn't want to grow up, I didn't want to forget
It is the best memory I've got of Harry potter

Watching Allen Rickman play Snape in The Deathly Hallows Part 2 and I remember it was a Sunday and I was on my couch cuddling the pillow and he said "Always" my heart will always be with Harry Potter ( no pun intended)

I have so many great memories, but my favorite is when I first decided to read the series. It was in a library and I went there almost everyday and read most of the books there.

Hm, my favorite moment... Reading GoF for the millionth time while skipping class just to do so. lol At the time, only the first four books were out and this was prior to the films.

I was doing college classes though. I was a recent high-school graduate. Not condoning skipping classes for the sake of reading HP, mind you, but I used to love finding my favorite spot (I was driving, so I'd park underneath a big shady tree), lay back, and just read. lol

I have so many, but probably the day I read Dumbledore's death scene and cried so hard that a blood vessel in my eye burst.
It's funny to tell it now.

Being at Universal Studios to see al of the Harry Potter fantasies come to life with my family!

Once I had to do a project where we made up our own magazine. My magazine was based around Harry Potter, so I did this whole 25 page magazine with articles telling young wizards and witches how the effects of Gillyweed helps keep the skin moist and other shiz like that. XD Its still by far the best project I have ever done.

My life is dominated by the Harry Potter series. When I was a child(eleven I think), I was going to Chennai(in India) for a check up of my eyes, and I think while on the train I read about the series in a Bengali magazine. In Chennai we have these sidewalk shops, where people just sit on the kerb and sell second hand books. So I managed to locate the HP books there, and bought The Prisoner of Azkaban. But after reading the first few chapters I realized that I would have to read the first two books before reading Azkaban. So within the next few days I bought the first two books of the series(got them from the same sidewalk shop, and my parents didn't mind spending money on books), and thus began my Hogwarts adventure. I completed the first book in 11 days. Rest is History. Eventually I completed the entire series, and inspired by it, I decided to study English literature. Now I have a masters degree(almost, final year results are yet to come out)in Literature, and for it, and for giving me a splendid, magical life, I thank JKR.

When me and one of my friends started singing Harry Potter parodies in P.E and then a girl came up to us and started belting out the rest of the lyrics with us. In short Harry Potter got me another friend :)

Seeing the Wizarding World in Orlando for the first time a few years ago. It still amazes me every time I think about it how much it looked like the movies

I have an endless amount and one of my many favourites is the chapter "The Prince's Tale." Severus Snape is truly my favourite character and it was just so tragic reading his death scene and that whole chapter. Alan Rickman brought him to life perfectly in every way. I think that part of the movie actually killed me more than the book because his acting and characterisation broke my heart. *cries*

Sounds like a day/night well spent. I must do that perhaps in winter time armed with some tea :D

And I will :) what more could one want? :D

Getting chosen in Ollivanders in Universal Studios.

Sitting on the couch with my brothers with the audio version of the order of the Phoenix and then when Sirus died me crying and my brothers trying to be kind but at the same time trying to make me quite so we could finish the book.

I have a lot of memories, but my favorite is probably last summer when I picked up the books again after a long time and re-read them out in the sunshine on our boat attached to the dock, all by myself, with no one to disturb my peaceful reading. The sound of the water and the peaceful rocking of the boat was very soothing while reading. I would also read them outside in the backyard until i finished them all again.

Rereading harry potter, forgetting how hilarious fred and george are and hysterically laughing when they offered to send ginny a hogwarts toilet seat! Literally had tears down my face. Probs a bit too old to find it as funny as I did ha ha!!! <3 xxxx

I just finished the series last week. This was my first time reading the books. I saw the movies before I read them! When Harry "dies" that part kills me. I remember seeing the movie and crying because I really thought he was dead and when I read the book I knew it was coming and I still cried. I was more attached to the characters after reading all the books.

When Molly kills Bellatrix.
For some unknown reason the spirit and way, both, in movie and book, captured me in that moment timelessly.
