First off, how did you become a Harry Potter fan?
I always liked the movies, but never read (or was a huge fan) of the series until about 3 years ago when my friend suggested that I read them...The rest is history.

How are you feeling now that the series is over?
When I finished Deathly Hallows for the first time I felt terrible, I thought "I'm never going to read a new Harry Potter book ever again...ever," which is kind of depressing, until I thought of a quote straight from Dumbledore: "I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me." So I realized that Harry Potter will only truly leave our hearts when no one is loyal to the series.......and that will never happen.

We got our very first glimpse of Deathly Hallows this month! Thoughts?
That trailer is like a gift from God. I've been waiting for a video, not just pictures, from the movie for months. It was one of the greatest things that I have ever watched in my life. My only question: How can I wait another year for this movie?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

All seven books are out, there are two movies to go, and the theme park> opens (hopefully) this spring. With so much to still look forward to, how> do you think the fandom, and you, will change once the wait is over?
I think that even after the final movies come out and the theme park opens I wont change too much, I just won't have anything Potter-related to look forward to. I'll probably just keep re watching the movies and rereading the books as usual. But I think that the fandom as a whole will change. What will everyone talk about without new updates or information? ..... On second thought, how will I live when its all over?

If you could pitch an idea to The WB for keeping Harry Potter & The> Wizarding World alive for many more years to come, what would it be?
I guess my idea would be to just advertise to the generations to come. That, and to never ever (( ever )) tell us that something will come out on November 21 2008, then at the last minute in late August decide to tell us that it will actually come out on July 15 2009. Ring any bells? That was the worst day of my life.

Are there events in your fandom past that you would change or that you> wish you hadn't missed out on?
There isn't anything that I would change, but I'm really upset that, because I've only recently become a fan, I missed out on so many midnight releases and the excitement and anticipation that comes with waiting for each book. Also, I'm upset that I missed the Great Snape Debate that the bookstore had at the Deathly Hallows midnight release. It was probably epic.

If you could change who died in the series, which character would you keep alive and why? (Submitted by Cassy S.)
That's a really hard question to answer. There's Dumbledore who was Harry's mentor throughout the books and the greatest wizard ever, and Dobby who was so loyal to Harry and always helped him, Hedwig who was a sign of Harry's becoming a wizard and what I would consider his first friend, and Sirius Black who was in Harry's life for barely 2 years. Well, I would choose Sirius, I guess, because Dumbledore chose to die (and also left Harry the challenge of finding the Hallows himself) and Dobby died in a way that I think he would have wanted (while saving Harry). But Harry could have definitely used Sirius as a boost of happiness throughout his life and I think that his death caused the most pain for Harry.

Is there anything else you would like to add?
Just a thank you to Mugglenet for everything you do for us and lets all hope for 2 more box office record breaking, absolutely amazing movies!!!!!! =] ***Only 585 days, 1 hour, and 29 minutes until Deathly Hallows part 2. (or it was when I wrote this)***
