I have an obsession too don't feel bad!

I love you.

Seriously. Your humor and inner geek made a shitty day unbelievably better. Thank you. Good bye.

I'm not quite sure about where this is going yet, but the humor is great! :D

God knows I'm probably one of the biggest HP fans in existence. My parents call it an unhealthy obsession. I say at least I'm not one of the idiots who ram themselves into the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10, hoping to get to Hogwarts. Now really. If you were really a wizard, don't you think you would be in Hogwarts by then. I spend my beautiful time going on-and-on about dear, old Harry Potter. But much unlike you, I have not found one more obsessed (or equal should do) than me-or at least one who shows it- in thenschool in which I currently attend. So at that I would like to say (hem hem ;)) YOU LUCKY BITCH! Naw, Im just kidding. So, well, I hope you review soon.~LovinLovegoodP.S. We love you Sirius, oh yes we do...

Wonderful essays. Witty and clever, and full of Harry Potter analyzation and information that others might find superfluous, but I find absolutely fascinating. A wonderful read your essays are.

Can I just say I love you? I just happened to see you little story on the spotlight and thought I'd read an installment or two. Now I'm on the ninth installment and drooling as I read your work. I can't wait for your next installment. I'll be all over it like a morbidly obese man on a donut. Okay, that was mean, but what can I say, it's a metaphor. Wait, no, not metaphor, something else, but the word escapes me at the moment. Oh well. Anyway, I can't wait for your next installment. Goodbye!

Thank GOSH I didn't quite get addicted to rpg, as I don't even know what it is - well, there's a vague idea, but I'm not going to get into it. Easily addicted Seriously, as if my grades need to plummet any lower. xP

Who! *promptly drops math homework and starts on HPSS for the umpeenth time* :) Finally. A reason to fall in love with the series again.

lol. you and i can relate quite a bit! im crazy about the harry potter series, i always have been, since the first book came out and my elementry school librarian requested i read it. she said that the first couple of chapters are hard to get through but once you get started you just can stop. and it was definatly true. im 15, and i do get a few stares when carrying one of the books around... but theres a lot of other people who read them, even 30 year old women on the morning train. i live in canada, but i dont think that makes much of a difference. but your story is exactly what happened to my friend (minus the go to italy part) and pretty much the same as how i got addicted.(how do u pronounce your name? its very interesting)

Alyx, you rock XD

I know the feeling of gettin wrapped up in RPGs. Just get SOME sleep from time to time eh? ;)

You're brilliant. Rock on! I've never done rpg... It does sound like fun though, keep up the writing!

Luv~Ailsa

I cried for twenty minutes when I read about Sirius's death-my parents thought I was having some kind of fit. I would very much like to believe that Sirius isn't dead-or at least that we'll see him again before the series ends (I especially love the idea that Sirius apparated himself right as he fell through the veil) But... I'm loosing hope, I'm afraid. I like your argument and I hope your right, Sirius was my favorite character... *sob*

Oh yeah, Gummy bears have been known to get me someone who spent three years of their life at the most fundamentalist Christian school in all of Utah, I can really appreciate the humor and truth that goes along with this very entertaining chapter. Don’t get me wrong-I love the church and I even love the silly, stupid overly lame members who tend to infest it. But geezz… If I had a dime for every time some retard came up to me and tried to convince me that I’m going to hell because I read Harry Potter I’d be lying on a beach I bought, on the island I bought, with the boyfriend I bought. It used to really bother me, until I was assigned to write a research paper about pagan paraphernalia, witchcraft and the occult... Being an obsessed loon, I devoted an ample portion of the rather long report to all the reasons why Harry Potter was actually rather virtuous. I guess you just have to try and not let it bother you. In any case, v. v. amusing.

I'm glad it's not just me. I first realized I had a serious problem after me and my little sister paid a trip to the library on a very unfortunate day; “The Harry Potter jeopardy rip-off day”. My sister wanted the grand prize so I ended up playing and out-geeking every last one of my opponents, all of whom were still in Junior High. You’re so brave to come out like this!Well, I’m only half joking, but on a totally serious note, V. v. choice. This is hilarious, and it looks like it really hits home for a lot of us, keep up the good work! (Hum, people use LOL a lot… Perhaps I’ll present you with a coveted ROFL!) Yep, you deserve it, keep up the awesome writing.
