were you ever convinced Harry Potter was real? I definately was. I made a "wand" out of a stick, some mud, and a bird feather and tried to levitate things. Once I was positive I made tape move (I realy didn't). Then, on my 11th birthday I waited all day for a Hogwarts letter. Once it never came I was sure my parents were hiding them from me. Soon I had myself believing that in our attic was all of my parents' old magic stuff (wands, moving pictures, ect.) I knew I was a wizard. To this day I wish I was, haha. So...do you guys have any stories from when you were little about Harry Potter being real? Wink

When I first read the first book when I was eight, I think I believed in it a little too much. But now I'm nineteen and very disappointed that none of it exists. At least, it's that way because I'm unfortunately a Muggle.

When i was a kid i wished i was a wizard but i knew it would never happen. like the day when i turned 11, i waited for a letter coming from United Kingdom telling me that i've been accepted to Hogwarts. I even told my math teacher(who was a Harry Potter fan) back then that im waiting for my Hogwarts letter. but it never came.... Sad

lol, no I wasn't convinced, but I wished he was real, and I still wish the whole magical world was real and I was a part of it, so I could join Voldy. Lol, forget the last bit, it's a joke.
What I did, however was - I wrote out all the spells and magical beasts and potion ingredients. I though it was extremely important for me to remember all that. Smile

I badly wanted it to be real, but a little piece of me always knew that it wasn't real.

Its so real crazy lady.


No when I first read it I was positive it was real. And the more I read the books the more convinced I became. Sometimes I really wish it all was real.

I think i started reading HP at 11... just after my birthday... I knew it was never real but there was that part of me that wished it was so i would memorize all the spells and as of a few weeks ago, i now have every book J.K.Rowling has written so far. I don't reckon i'd read it to any of my kids under 8 just 'cause their imaginations are pretty wild and i wouldn't want them waiting around on their 11th birthdays wishing for a letter from Hogwarts saying they were a witch/wizard. I actually remember my brother getting a stick and carving it and sanding it down to give me so i could have a wand. Razz
