i dont know why people are so obsessed with harry potter, the actors must be really scared,just in case you havent noticed many people need to see a psichologist becouse they cant live with out harry potter.... i was surfing on the internet and i read about a girl who got into the studio looked in the garbage and stole the yule ball dance scene list with the dance couples, the hour, and eve the food they were going to have and also who was going to dance with who written on it . of course the security cath her when she was leaving the studio, but she took a picture an publicated in a harry potter web page.

So i have an advice, we should think first and realize that harry poter its coming to an end and when we no longer have harry potter then what, we are not going to stop breathing maybe a new book comes or a new writer or a new movie and all we are felling now its going to be a memory. so lets try to enjoy it without a heart attack!!

lmao, she went through the garbage!?!?!

Of course I'll be sad onces it all stops, but the bigggest thing that brings a little fear into my heart it that when HP is over, that the snitch may not be around after a while. Of course, we are talking about years and years to come, but losing touch with all the people here would make me more sad then HP ending. It's given me so much, this website and it's magnificent people have given me so much. That would be hard, to close that part.

But we've still got years and years to enjoy and maybe you will all get so tired of me at a point that I'll just be kicked out of this place. Who knows what the future brings, bets to enjoy what we've got right now.

But the obsessiveness is scary.

Good God!!that person has to be deranged! i can't believe it!
she doesn't need a psychologist, what she needs is a bl**dy mental asylum!!locked away!!!. i know harry potter is a magnificent book but d**n!!, its not real!!

Aw, come on, it's movie memorabilia. Might go for a lot on ebay... I'm not saying people should go digging through trash cans, because that's just unsanitary (and, you know, illegal). I'm sure you would have liked to see that list, though. I know what you're saying is tongue-in-cheek, but that's kinda harsh. She was just looking for something from the Harry Potter set.

Hmmm... I think this might look better in HP Movie Chat.

oh god, the snitch is never gonna shut! it cant! *deep breath*. my mum has spoken to me about this, like what will you do when the magic is over? she was like you will be about 18 when the last book comes out. and that made me think. philosophers stone came out when i was 7 and ever since then ive loved harry potter, so i guess im an adult when i turn 18, therefore harry is part of my childhood that i will leave behind when i become an adult. of course just coz i growup doesnt mean i stop liking it, its more its got me through the first part of life, im gonna have to do the rest on my own. then again they probably will not have finished all the films by that time so ive still got them to watch over and over. to be honest, harry is just something thats always gonna be part of who i am, i know that sounds weird but everyone knows me for it, and thats me...

Its not just Harry Potter fans. Actors in other movies get stalked & set props get stolen.

I couldn't have said it better . . .I'm not obssesed like "OMG I CAN'T BREATHE WITHOUTH HP " no . .. but I really like the series, as I like others like Chronicles of Narnia and Series of Unfortunate Events (though my fav. is HP) . . .I think it's ok to be a fanatic . . .but there's a point between fans and freaks, and the trash girl may not be just a fan

[Whirr]

Tired of you? Yeah whatever. If you're ever kicked out of the Snitch, Chrissie, I'm a pink iguana wearing Dobby's teacosy.

[GinnyPotter914]

hehe..this topic really made me think! i may be in between the "fan or freak" label, i'm scared to admit! but i would NEVER go through garbage to get something like a piece of paper from the movie! it really is obsessive behaviour and may stem from many things. you just never know...and i have a degree in Psychology!!! so maybe i should analyze myself! eeeeek!! scary!

many times people are not comfortable with their lives or may have some turmoil going on and obsessing about something like HP may give them an outlet. also, it could be just a person's personality. i know i can be obsessive at times, it's just the way i've always been. many times i use HP to escape when something is wrong in my life or if it's something particulary painful. goodness knows we all have that in our lives.

okay that's enough psycho-babble. i sometimes start analyzing things too much! but that's just my thoughts as loony as they can be

xOx Ginny, a sometimes obsessive FREAK!

[fenix69]

Lol, I'm a fan and not a freak... I think. No, seriously, my life will go on without new Harry Potter books and movies (eventually), I'll find something else instead... or keep reading the old books all over and over again...

I'm sad when the series ends, can feel the sadness already, but... I don't know why (you're going to kill me for saying this) but I think HPB made the series not better but worse... It was not what I expected and therefore I have no big hopes for the last book... Don't understand me wrong, I liked HPB in general but it just wasn't... the way I expected. There's too much sadness, I guess... I don't know if it's because of the fact that the series is going to end soon...

[DarkAuror859]

i'm just a fan.i wouldn't try ro go in a place and steal a prop or something.i might just ask for an autograph or something.i'm not that bad,but if you ask me a question about the movie or the books,i bet i can answer it....maybe.....i forget sometimes....

[Merlin321]

Now I realized that I'm barely even a fan compared to these people, or should I say freak.

That girl has some problems.

[Sunny]

Well I am not a freak, definitely not. I am proud to say that I still have a life.

OK, people who wait in trash cans so they can get something from the set are really a little too obsessed with the magical world. I only started being a Harry Potter fan a year or so ago, before that I thought Harry Potter was boring and a load of dragon dung but then I read the first book and was like: 'Wow, how cool is that!' I just had to read the whole series.

When Harry Potter is over I will of course keep reading the books once in a while but I won't shut myself up in my room and cry for the rest of my life because the Harry Potter experience is kind of over. It was and is an important part of my personality and most people know that I like Harry Potter.
I am proud to say that I am a fan. And I am also glad to say that I am not a freak.

[Honeydukes]

OMG!!! She went through the garbage!!! That's just scary! I'm not even that obsessd! She must have been.......insane! I am a HP freak but I would not go throught the garbage to get some of the script to a movie!!! Man that girl must of had problems!

[Treasure]

I'm a fan, through and through. But I'll admit, during the periods when the latest book or movie is released, I'm leaning a little more towards freak. Must be all the HP hype that goes on, because I am affected.

Sure I buy Harry Potter candy when I see it, I own a wand and a Gryffindor scarf. But it's just a fandom thing, nothing too freaky.

I think it's fun going to premieres and stuff, and seeing people in full costume, or wearing shirts that say "I <3 Snape" (My cousin has a t-shirt that says that)

Going through the garbage though, that a little too far.

[robyn_ette]

i'm a fan ... my 8 yr old daughter has choiced emma watson as her heron which is not so bad i guess. I'm shocked to hear people are going to such measures to try and 'be part' of things!

[rongotahowler]

crazy fans.
but every famous person has them
wait until girls start hiding under daniel radcliffes bed.
at least hes not got it that bad yet

[ArwenEvenstar]

Well, I am very proud to say that I am NOT a freak. I have a life. I'm obssessed with Harry Potter, but I have a life. I was actually thinking about that recently. Soon Harry Potter'll be over, what'll I do? Really I've been avoiding the subject whenever it comes up I get this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. OMG, the GARBAGE! You couldn't pay me enough money to do that! That makes me feel like I'm hardly a Harry Potter fan.... Not that I'd ever do that, you know....you get my point?

[sftbgurly07]
