Fan: Yeah, I like the Harry Potter series.

Potterhead: Have you ever drawn a scar and your face, running around with a twig in your hand? Have you camped outside your bookstore, to get a copy at midnight? Have you done the same, but to your movie theater? Do you lie awake at night, thinking about your favorite characters? Have you called a friend at three in the morning, just to talk about Harry Potter? Have you ever wondered what your life would be like, if J.K. Rowling never existed? Do you know the Wiki site, like the back of your hand? How about Tumblr? How about Pottermore? Do your dreams involve Hogwarts, Quidditch, and Voldemort? Do you experience the magic, every time you open that book?
Potterhead: You have no idea.
Potterhead: This isn't just a series.
Potterhead: This is our life.
