Fan Focus: Shelby – March 1, 2015

SHELBY

Age 23 – United States
Gryffindor

How did you become a Harry Potter fan?

I began reading the books as a kid. My mom and dad bought Chamber of Secrets for me first, and I got confused and didn’t read the books again for a while. Then my parents bought Sorcerer’s Stone for me and I read it and loved it. I began reading all the rest of the books after that.

What is one theory you had about the books before they finished that you wish had come true?

At one point I thought at the end Harry would wake up in a hospital and the last 7 years had been a dream.

What was your reaction to the news about Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them?

I’m so excited to see all the magical creatures! They were my favorite parts in the novels and movies. I think these films will be really great!

If you could have one prop from the set of the films, which would it be?

I’d love to have the sorcerer’s stone. Sorcerer’s Stone is my favorite book and movie, so having the central item to both the book and the film would be awesome.
