Hello Guys, I am Sanika 🤗

So here is something Harry Potter related that I wanted to share with you guys..⭐️

On the fine day of July 21st, 2007, it was a Saturday.

And the TV's were full of news that the Harry Potter Franchise has finally come to an end and the queen has finally released her last book, and speculations about weather Harry will live or die and the great series has ended when it started and that people were queing outside the stores, camping out from the day before..

And I was in eighth grade and it was a Saturday for god sakes..I really didnt need to go to school :P

I went completely bersek because Saturday we used to wear these white uniforms which I absolutely loathed and I really really wanted to read the book, have my own copy and all..

But unfortunately, I went to school crying and my whole day, I acted so moody and sad and children in my class had already bought the copies and I was like the stores wouldn't have any left for me.😭

I was absolutely heartbroken..💔

But then, when I reached home, Mumma had bought a gift for me and I was like unless it is the deathly hallows, don't talk to me and then she went all sass on my arse 😆

And on the dining table, there it was, all wrapped in a golden shiny wrapper and I opened it and honestly, I don't think I had ever been so happy in my life..I gave a really really wet kiss on my Mom's cheek and went to my room and didn't come out till like 3 in the night..I didn't even drink or eat anything..that is how much I was into the book..

I didn't even change out of the filthy PT Uniform 😆

So, that is one of my Harry Potter experiences..The other one was where my cruel parents tricked me into thinking I was going to Hogwarts..that is for another time though..I am sure you guys must have one too..so do share :)

-Love, Fellow Potterhead :D

Hey I am Avie..

Welcome to the forum Sanika...
Harry Potter incidents,eh?? Well here is a real funny one I wanna share..
It was at the time when OoP was released in India.. I absolutely loved that book and I was so eager to watch it.. I begged my Mom that we go to the movie.. The following week we went.. And I was so shocked that my Mom got us tickets to the Hindi-dubbed version of the movie.. Like seriously, Hindi?? I and my cousin sulked throughout the whole movie.. I remember being angry for days.. Finally my Dad got us tickets and so happy I was I finally got to watch it..
I will never forget watching it in Hindi..
So yeah that was it.. 😆

Hahaha, I cannot watch that movie without getting bored..because that was one of the worsts in HP movie franchise and the fact that I am a book-over-movie type of girl didn't help either😆
I absolutely cannot imagine the antagonizing pain you must have went through😛
But then again you have a "Ooh, remember that time" moment😆
All is well😛..that ends well😆

My Harry Potter incident...
I was in 6th class and my SA II exams were going on. It was my Maths exam next day. The subject in which I was the most weak. I had read all HP books and was eagerly awaiting for the Deathly Hallows. I cried all night when I found that my parents will not buy me the latest book until my exams finish and it was a month before that. The next day, my Maths paper went fine as I was very sad. When I came home, I found out that I had won the Lucky Book Prize which was held at our nearest book store. I HAD WON THE WHOLE SET OF HARRY POTTER BOOKS ALONG WITH HUNGER GAMES! I was so amazed!! I felt like dancing I was like..WOW!
And the excitement followed by that I done really very well in my exams (except maths,of course) and had recieved the Students' Achiever Award.

Yes that movie was one of the worst.. I had so many expectations.. But I just had to watch it in English.. Coz the hindi version I went to, I didn't see anything.. So angry I was then..😆
My friends still make fun of me though!😕

Hi all..nice experiences.. 😆
BTW, I'm Reshma from India..call me Reshu... and of course I'm a fellow Potterhead. 😃

I remember once while reading GOF.. I was so much into the book that I didn't realize my brother had crept up beside me. I was exactly in the part where Fleur screams in the final task. Just as Fleur screams, my brother only touched my shoulder and bang!!..I started to scream.. My God! "My mom was like "why are you devouring the book?😆..a similar thing happened when I read OoP too during the possession part in the end..😆
