Fan Focus: Abby – December 28, 2014

18-year-old Gryffindor Abby from Lincoln, California

How did you become a Harry Potter fan?

I hated to read when I was little. At one point they put me in special classes and had me pick a goal book. My mom […] read [Harry Potter and] the Sorcerer[‘]s Stone to me when we […] made the drive from Massachusetts to California, so I decided that that should be my book. I read those books so many times I lost count… I think 9 or 10 times before my parents took them away and still won’t give them back. That[‘]s how it started, and it began my love of reading as well!! 🙂

What do you think you might see if given the chance to look into the Mirror of Erised?

If I looked into the Mirror of Erised I would see myself the way I [am] because [i]f I [were] looking into that mirror that would mean I[‘d be] at Hogwarts (or at le[a]st in the wizarding world!)

OMG! J.K. Rowling is writing a new film series! I am so excited for…

Seeing what the [w]izarding world is like in the USA!!
