potterism... i contracted that disease when i was in 6th grade... that was
the year GoF was released... i saw a classmate reading it in class and a
few weeks later, i had my dad buy me the entire set... books 1-4...
i remember having exams at that time and dance practice cuz i was
gonna dance at the diwali ball... and i would bring sorcerer's stone
everywhere until i didnt finish it... at night, my mom would turn the light
off in my room and would tell me to go to sleep cuz i had classes the next
day but i would get a flash light and read the books under my blanket...
my grades fell really badly at that time... i used to be top1 in class but
because i ignored my studies. i fell to top 5... hehe
then when i was in 7th grade, the first movie was released and i
memorized almost all the lines and i would go around the classroom
repeating them over and over again
when OotP was released, i stayed outside the book shop until they
opened it and i started reading in the car on the way home... i didnt care
about eating, i didnt care about going out... i just had to finish the book!
the second movie, i watched it in the theater twice... once on the opening
day and once with my friends...
the third movie, i got in trouble cuz i kept complaining out loud about
how the sequence was wrong and how so many things were cut out...
i remember watching the first two movies the day before my cuzins and i
were gna watch PoA and i kept saying the lines and my cuzin bit me on
my arm and my arm was swollen until the next day
then HBP came out and i locked myself up in my room and refused to talk
to anyone until i didnt finish reading it because i didnt want anyone to
spoil the ending for me cuz wen i was reading OoTP, my friend called me
and told me that sirius died and i was sooo mad at him for doing that...
GoF movie... i watched it 4 times... 4 days in a row in the theater... the
day the movie was released, it was a wednesday, we didnt have classes
and i went to the mall to get tickets really early in the morning and luckily
they had tickets... then i had reserved tickets for the next day, thursday,
so i watched it with my family... then on friday, it was my friend's bday
and she treated us to a movie and dinner... guess what we watched?
GoF... then on saturday, i was bored so i made my friends watch it with
me again... hehe
before GoF came out, there were magazines that included posters of the
movie and one magazine had a poster that was back-to-back so i bought
2 copies so i could put up both sides of the poster...
i own 3 copies of SS, 3 copies of CoS, 2 copies of PoA, 4 copies of GoF, 2
copies of OoTP and 2 copies of HBP... i have a reading set and i have a set
that's covered with plastic so it doesnt get damaged...
i think you cud say i've greatly affected by this disease
oh and i forgot... i've had numerous arguments with people who say
anything against harry potter...
