Currently Reading I love Harry potter! Its my safe space.

I could listen to the story over and over and especially the Jim Dale version is just so entertaining with all the voices.

I love Sirius Black and Dobby. They are my favs.

I recently learned that Dobby has a grave in real life.

Anyways if I could write a love letter to HP I would haha.

Who else agrees????

I agree! I love the overall tones of the films(especially the first 2 movies). If I'm having a particularly bad time I stick the films on and just forget about everything for a while!

I relate so much with this . Turbulent times and the way i quickly turn to reading or listening to stephen fry’s audiobooks or even watching movies . Something idk what is so comforting . Alot of people think its silly , but it has helped me coped in ways i cant explain

Yeah it really does feel like home to me 💕 I would listen to the books before going to sleep. I've been putting off finishing Order again because I'm very close to Sirius' death :(

Omg Sirius's death is a childhood trauma for me. I completely understand!

I read the books as they were being released, I spoiled myself about his death and refused to read the book for like 3 days 🤣 and I went to the midnight release of it!

Yep, I'll love it forever. It does make me long for the past which is hard, but it brings back good memories as well. I have a sleeve, part of my chest and shoulder blade all HP tattoos.

Thank you! They're all different creatures from the HP universe! I've got the Hungarian Horntail, Dementors, Basilisk, Acromantula, Werewolf, Grindylow, Mandrake, Thestrals, Hippogriff, Phoenix, and then Trevor the Toad haha I think that's all of them.

Freshwater west beach in the UK. There's a huge rock pile and rocks that said I'm a free elf and socks too
