On A Scale of 1 to Voldemort..

While on Pinterest this afternoon, I found a phrase that really delighted my soul.

"On a scale of 1 to Voldemort..."

What? Who comes up with these things?! Whoever came up with this brilliant phrase, can we be best friends please? I enjoy laughing dearly, and the simple sayings such as these are what make life worth living. Seriously.

Shout out to Harry Potter: I miss you :( Post Potter Depression is real my friends, and it didn't really hit me until 11/11/11. In case any of you are unfamiliar with the significance of that date, let me refresh your memory: it was the date that The Deathly Hallows part 2 was released on dvd. Did my roommates and I participate in an epic all night Harry Potter marathon? Yes, yes we did. And you know why? It's quite simply really.

I love Harry Potter.

Harry Potter brings me back to the happiest memories of my childhood. Harry Potter, along with the Chronicles of Narnia, gave me the love and joy I have of reading. Harry Potter was the first book I couldn't put down. How does one describe their love for a book? I first read The Sorcerer's Stone when I was nine years old. Harry Potter was my first love. He will always have a place in my heart. I've read and reread those books dozens of times. One word to describe them: magical. Harry is not a fictional character, he is my best friend. He was there for me when I was sad, when I needed an escape, or when I wanted to have a fun time. And he will ALWAYS be there for me. I remember the nights I stayed up late in bed reading about the adventures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione and falling asleep with them in my hands. I remember feeling jealous of Hermione, and wishing that I could be her. I remember the disappointment I felt at age 13 when I realized I wouldn't be getting my Hogwarts letter because I was too old. I remember the tears I shed when Cedric Diggory died, when Sirius Black was murdered, when Snape betrayed Dumbledore, and when Snape turned out to be in love with Harry's mother and was good all along. Harry Potter, and all the characters, are still very real to me, and always will be. I don't care what anyone else has to say about it. Harry defines me, I love him and he loves me <3. Thank you Harry for what you have done for me and always being there to help me relive my childhood.

Harry, thank you. For the past 11 years, you have made me smile :)

Now that I'm legitimately depressed, I'm going to watch Moulin Rouge so I can have a good cry.
