I love your family memories and I wish my family would get up to stuff like that. I only have one cousin who's a fan on my mom's side and two on the other side but they're much more 'tame' about it than I am so they wouldn't go for all my fangirling. Sigh.

Now though we're both huge fans, even though she's a Gryffindor and I'm definitely a Slytherin at heart!<br /><br />My parents have read the books too, and my friends are big fans too, but other than blogging friends (especially as part of things like HP MOTW and HP Month), I probably share the HP fandom love with my other half the most. Although he's generally a gamer rather than a reader, HP is one of the book series we both adore, which leads to plenty of fun hours discussing the books, favourite characters, opinions on fanon and canon pairings and so on. Plus of course, we've spent some hours playing the Lego HP games too!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393710532281676728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-4601253053771454742015-07-19T20:39:58.683-04:002015-07-19T20:39:58.683-04:00This is so cool.

My aunt, Gramma and cousin have been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida 4 or 5 times together. And every time a movie came out, Gramma gathered all the cousins, aunts, and uncles and took us to see them. That kind of gives you an idea the kind of fans we are. :DAlex Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409584614712337859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-15118186720225019922015-07-19T13:27:22.919-04:002015-07-19T13:27:22.919-04:00Hehe, I was also hoping that playing Lego HP would...Hehe, I was also hoping that playing Lego HP would count towards House points because that would be how I'd be earning most, if not all, of mine, lol! That's so awesome that you and Zane play Lego HP together; I love how the games appeal to all ages, and just how HP is something so special to so many families. :DLee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-79990440109191724832015-07-19T11:49:13.990-04:002015-07-19T11:49:13.990-04:00Oh it's so great to get to share the HP love w...Oh it's so great to get to share the HP love with others! I know Zane and I love playing the HP Lego Game too and it's absolutely more fun to play with more than one person. Though of course it's HP Lego so playing it alone is fun as well. I was hoping playing the game would help us win house points ;) I love a bit of friendly competition and I did notice that Ally was in a different house than you and Melissa. I have told you before that I thought Zane and I would be in Ravenclaw too but Pottermore placed us in Hufflepuff so we've embraced that LOL. I'm enjoying this month so much with rereading the books and re-watching all the movies. I have been enjoying all the HP love everyone has shared and all the memories as well.

It truly seems like it was only yesterday when I was taller than all of them, lol.<br /><br />And I've played both Lego HP games by myself on occasion, and to me they were still enjoyable, although playing with someone else definitely adds so much more to the experience.Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-38261764238556979602015-07-19T07:45:46.927-04:002015-07-19T07:45:46.927-04:00This is such a touching, heartwarming piece of mem...This is such a touching, heartwarming piece of memory you shared, Lee, and I so enjoyed getting this insight into you and your cousins love for the world of Harry Potter. The experiences you've shared thanks to it are so happy and I really love the fact your were the judge of that contest- how perfectly brilliant.<br />And it reminds me that I totally need to get onto finishing the first Lego HP game. I was playing it with my brother but I'm guessing I'll have to go solo, now, which is horribly sad. But hopefully it continues to be fun on solo player.<br />xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-42719633888320018632015-07-18T21:17:43.337-04:002015-07-18T21:17:43.337-04:00I'm not a gamer at all, but I absolutely LOVE ...I'm not a gamer at all, but I absolutely LOVE playing Lego HP! In addition to playing through the main events in the books/movies, you also get to explore Hogwarts, which was one of my favorite things about both games. :DLee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-43571116184480101112015-07-18T19:07:40.000-04:002015-07-18T19:07:40.000-04:00Awwwww, that's so cute!

My sister is who I always geek out with.<br />That's hilarious about the infighting in Lego HP. I'm so bad at video games that if I played with someone, I'm sure I would end up killing them by accident (if not on purpose) lol.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390461370772613384noreply@blogger.com
