You know you have read too much Harry Potter When . . .
 

You need your keys or remote control and you say "Accio . . " as if its going to fly to you.

When you have to convince a small child to attend a book release PotterParty because you want the book at midnight instead of having to wait until Borders opens the next day.

(Ok... some of them are a little lame but...)


You Know You're Too Big of a Fan When...


You mutter nonsense latin words under your breath.

You call your least favorite teacher Snape.

Your computer says "You've Got Mail" and you run outside looking for an owl.

You actually ask for a broom for Christmas.

You mutter "lumos" under your breath every time you turn on a flashlight.

You sort everyone you meet into the four Hogwarts houses. (Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.)

You were burned when you couldn't get through the flames of your fireplace.

You had to go to the hospital after you broke your nose running headfirst into the wall between platforms nine and ten.

The wand order mistake in GoF drove you crazy, and even after it was "corrected" you still came up with dozens of theories to explain why that happened.

You point a normal things like parking meters and say "Look at the things these muggles dream up!"

You collect plugs.

You try on every piece of silvery fabric your mom has to see if you turn invisible

Before getting up to get something, you always try to summon it first. Accio TV remote!

You watched "Love, Actually" because two minor Harry Potter actors were in it.

You were reduced to tears when you finally had book 5 in your hands.

You refer to your Chemistry class as Potions.

You spend hours tapping bricks in special orders hoping that a secret entrance to Diagon Alley will appear.

When playing chess, you yell orders to the chess players and get upset when they don't move.

You yell into the "fellytone."

You get emotional every time you hear "Hedwig's Theme".

You say "wicked" all the time because Rupert Grint does.

You get thoroughly overexcited every time you see a word somewhere that is distantly linked with HP (ie. Saint Hedwig's).

You name all of your pets after HP characters.

You get in to heated arguments over how much gel Tom Felton had in his hair in the first two movies.

You know that Harry's birthday is July 31, 1980, Hermione's birthday is September 19, 1980 and Ron's birthday is March 1, 1980 even though it never said in the books.

You refer to Voldemort as "You-Know-Who", and no one has any idea who you're talking about.

You went out and bought the latest editition of the Webster's Dictionary because they added the word "muggle".

You were kicked out of the movie theater for standing on your chair, throwing your shoe at the screen and yelling "THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE BOOK!"

You count the days until you're old enough for your apparating license, and everyone else thinks you're talking about driving.

Your free time on the computer is spent constantly refreshing your favorite Harry Potter news site (MuggleNet, of course), hoping for an update.

One can never read too much Harry Potter!:D

When you have to pre-order multiple copies of the new book for all the Potter-philes in your home!

Yet I still haven't read book one myself!

Oh that is soooo wrong! Snape is a *huge* character, and he's my favorite professor!

Re: More Ideas from Mugglenet...
 

One of your online passwords is "Pigwidgeon"

You have your own hand-made wand.

You know every spell by heart.

You've read every book more than 3x's each.

You have a pet named Hermione.

You see a funny-looking man and say, "Wow, he looks like Errol" and no one knows you've insulted him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are you talking about, none of those apply to me!!!!

*runs out and slams the door*

you notice the incorrect info in the list of obsessive traits
(ie hermione was born in 1979, not 1980)

You sit and argue points that have never been proven for sure in the books. (There is a whole theory that she was allowed in Hogwarts as a nine year old because her supposed b-day was so close to the cut off date.)

;) :D

ETA: OMG... We had an orange and white medium hair male cat at the shelter and the volunteers named him CROOKSHANKS! I almost adopted him for myself but someone else did. When I told people I wanted to adopt a cat name Crookshanks, they all gave me weird looks, like, why would you name a cat THAT? Some people just don't understand.

If you ARE in the market for a Crookshanks, they are orange and white domestic long hair persians. (Talk about a lot of fur.)

Re: Re: More Ideas from Mugglenet...
 

I like this one! Although I don't want to name one of my pets Hermione, I do want to get a fluffy orange and white cat and name him Crookshanks!

and
10 points to ADPi for lyrica9's answer.

From the FAQ/About the Books section of JKR's website:

When Hermione arrived at Hogwarts, was she nearly eleven or nearly twelve? [also asked by vast numbers of people]

She was nearly twelve; you must be at least eleven to attend Hogwarts.

Honestly, hasn't anyone read Hogwarts: A History?

(Sorry, JenMarie ;) )

GAH! Stupid fan fic... ;)

We toyed witht he idea of getting a scottish terrier for the sole purpose of naming it Professor McGonagall. We read that they weren't very child friendly,so we didn't.

Woo hoo! She's older than me :D (That means it's okay to be 25 and reading HP, right? ;))

Back to the thread:

....you decide waiting to start book number 6 until you're on a cross-country flight later this month will be more entertaining than diving in the minute you get the book (it builds suspense, right? :D)

I also want to get a little brown dachsund (sp?) and name it Dobby!

Yeah, I'm a big geek, but I don't care!

ETA:


Of course it is!
