Potterday.

If there's one thing I'd like to change about my childhood, it's the fact that I don't get into Harry Potter much earlier. I guess if you've been following my blog for a while you can see I used to be obsessed with Twilight (hur hur) and safe to say my obsession has shifted.

First world problems, I know.

If you don't like Harry Potter I don't like you too you can skip reading this.


Anyway if you read my Addicted post you can see I just started reading the first book last year. Which is sad. OKAY when I was little I wanted to get into it but I thought it's too complicated and.. my English wasn't really good at the time. So I didn't.

So the upcoming movie, Deathly Hallows pt. 2 would be the first movie of Harry Potter in which I've read the book before watching it.

When people say Harry Potter is their childhood, I wish it's mine too. (Well technically it can be, I grew up watching the movies. THAT STILL COUNTS) I read this one blog once where she said something like, she won't miss Harry Potter. She knows it's going to be there when she needs them. But the thing she's going to miss is the feeling of opening the new much-anticipated book. The queuing at midnight for the new release.

That kind of thing. I can't relate to that :(

You know, now I want to be like all fangirl over Harry Potter but then I feel like, I don't have the rights to. I wasn't a big fan before. Like I can feel I'm being shunned from the fandom saying bleeh I only love it now, not way back then. Sort of the same for bands, like somehow who discovered them earlier is more superior than the new fans.

Then I thought, bleh screw it.

I too, have stuck with Harry till the very end. I too have stayed up late reading the book. Like most fans around my age, I too will pass the books down to my children so the story lives on (if you think that's lol-worthy, trust me fans around the world feel the same.) I shall take good care of my Harry Potter box set so that'd be their childhood.

And the Harry Potter fans I know (Lizzie, Eimie, Mus, Satpal) are all very nice people so they won't judge me for being all fangirl eventhough I'm a new fan. Heheh.

Speaking of fangirling, I totally stayed up till 3 a.m. to watch the whole live stream red carpet premiere thing through. (On a sidenote, I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH UNIFI for the fast internet. Like the whole thing didn't even buffer or stuck and very high quality video too)


I was freaking out and almost fell off my chair and screaming alone in my room when one by one the cast came. It was one of those moments where if there's a hidden camera, you know it'd be hilarious to watch back.

I was like





LITERALLY. I swear you guys these gifs are as accurate as it can get for my expressions the whole time during the live premiere.

(gif credits to tumblr)

ESPECIALLY when Alan Rickman (Snape) came out. I don't even know what to think anymore like ALKS;DHAKJSG;DKAJS[HDKAJGSDKJ'ASHAKJS\ALSKYRLH



Snape will always be my favorite character. I mean even when I first saw the first movie, haven't read the book, you can tell he's not evil, ya know? I just knew it! (I think everyone does too, Anis. You can move on.)

But of course, then came the sad part during the speeches. You know that ache in your heart when you're about to cry? Okay yeah I felt that during Dan's speech,



but then Emma gave hers and she started crying and JK Rowling started crying I MEAN. HOW CAN YOU NOT.

I was like sobbing that time but when JK Rowling says "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home" ...







Like someone on tumblr said, it's like being homesick for a place you've never even been to. But I guess all Potterheads can tell you they've been there. When we read the book, it became real in our heads. So it doesn't matter.

Anyway I went to IKEA the other day and I got these! I stalked the MPH and Popular at Sunway Pyramid every other day and it's never there ugh.



When I see the magazine at Popular



I'm not the type who buy a magazine just because anything Potter-related is on the cover but these are THE magazines to buy, yaw.
It's still in wrap I don't want to open it t_t



AND to end this perfect day my lovely friend, Lizzie who were there at Trafalgar Square for the premiere tagged me in all pictures she took of Alan Rickman :'D Aaaahhh I love her so much she's like one of the nicest person I ever got the chance to meet. Seriously.


Other than some minor glitch, July 8 was a very wonderful day indeed. And other than in college earlier that day (which was still very wonderful), I spent the whole day alone. I went to IKEA alone, buying chairs for my brother and sister (not like I'm a ~*~*good daughter/sister*~*~ or anything, I was the one insisted going because I just love IKEA, which another thing I'm obsessed about).
Hey I'm still a teenager I'm entitled to having many obsession :3



It's times like these I am utterly convinced I don't need a boyfriend to make me feel happy or contented.


Oh another unimportant thing. If you go to my Facebook profile you can see this..



I'M DOING SNAPE LOLOLOL that's what she said~
I didn't even purposely do this!! D: I just randomly clicked 'Like' on the recommended pages.. and it turns out to be under Activites so what to do :P




Can't wait to watch the movie! You can bet your kidney I'm going to watch it more than once! So gonna have a Harry Potter movie marathon.. by myself. No big deal.
