For some reason, I have always liked Harry Potter.

My twin brother was more into it than I was when we were kids, but I have loved it so much more for about two years now.

This is because I had only watched the movies since I was about six years old until about two years ago. Then, I had a strong interest in reading the books, so that I could understand the plot lines better and call myself a "true" Harry Potter fan.

I instantly fell in love with the first book. I couldn't keep it down, and I was right- it helped me understand the story so much better.

Then I had to get the second book, the third book, the fourth book, the fifth book, the sixth book, and the seventh book.

It took me about ten months to read all seven books. I LOVED them. I instantly became a more true fan, and I understood Harry Potter so much better and the story was so fascinating to me.

In the past year or two, I have had my parents say, "aren't you too old to be reading Harry Potter?" But my mom was reading the books when they came out around 2000.

Since completing reading the books about nine months ago, I have joined an official Harry Potter Fans group page on Facebook, and I have also downloaded the mobile Harry Potter Mystery Game.

Through the Harry Potter fans group page, I have talked to two different people through messenger and have bonded over Harry Potter. One of them is only two years younger than me- her name is Aurora and she is from Italy. We plan on meeting one day because I went to Italy a few weeks ago and I plan on going back somewhat soon for longer.

On this group page, Harry Potter fans range from the ages of 14-80.

When I went to Italy a few weeks ago, an Italian man of about 30 overheard me talking about meeting my Italian Harry Potter friend Aurora, and told me I was too old to be watching Harry Potter... some nerve, eh?

In my opinion, you're never too old for imagination and magic.
