The seventh and final book of the Harry Potter series is coming out this year. If you didn't know that already than I suspect you've been living under a rock.
Scholastic are preparing for it by planning their biggest ever first print run (article here), among other things.
I am anxious to know what happens in the final book, since I've been a fan since just after The Prisoner of Azkaban was published.
I've been a participant in the fandom: attended a premiere screening wearing a Gryffindor tshirt and a Hogwarts hoodie (I was outclassed by a kid dressed in an owl suit), I've roleplayed a live action Harry Potter adventure as a Ravenclaw girl (with robe), I've roleplayed online as Harry himself quite extensively on Hogwarts Hocus (and I still wish I had time to spend on there with Ginny, Lily and Sirius)...and yet I feel I'm not as passionate about the whole fandom as other people.
That's alright. I'll celebrate Harry in my own way. And someday I will make myself a proper Gryffindor Quidditch uniform.
