@jlbaker08 I enjoyed it when I was younger reading the books and watching the movies. But that's been it for me. I have no clue what people mean when they claim "you're such a hufflepuff" and what not. Nor am I interested in learning what it means.
I feel the same about Disney World. We went once as a family when I was 12 or 13 and that's it. Yes I had a good time, but I'll just go to a Six Flags or Cedar Point. Theme parks much closer to me.

Oh my, Harry Potter nerd here... and same with Disney. first HP book came out when i was 11, and the last when i was 21... so it's like my youth.
fun fb debate i just saw: i like to look at restaurant menus and plan my meal prior to going, some ppl find this takes the joy and surprise out of going.
CEDAR POINT!!!! So much yess. @inthewoods23 I have never been to Disney and I have absolutely zero problem with that, nor concern whatsoever if it never happens.
+1 not into Harry Potter. I think I saw one of the movies, but I couldn't even tell you which one. Not a franchise I am remotely interested in geeking out on.
Yeah, I agree about Harry Potter. To be fair, I've only seen the movies, but I think the obsession is kind of weird. I feel the same way about Disney. Do I like Disney? Yes. Do I think it is weird to focus your wardrobe and hobbies around it? Also yes.
@anniemarie887 I'll join your Harry Potter nerd club! I grew up with them too and not ashamed to admit I still read them once a year
I feel like there are two types of people who say they love Disney. The half that like to visit the parks and check out all the new movies eventually....and then the other half that are OBSESSED and have rooms in their home dedicated to Disney and the full head to toe outfits and such. I'm of the first variety but I have family that is the second. They go to Orlando multiple times a year, every year. I mean Disney is fun but there are so many other places to see...
And also yes to Cedar Point! I went the year Millenium Force opened and Dragster. Haven't been since...mental note to plan and trip and find a friend to go with. Hubs doesn't do heights
@gardenvariety88 haha same with Cedar Point! My family road tripped there for a week long. Bought season passes for the 5 days cuz it was cheaper. We got to go on Millenium Force a couple times (not recommended when the rain is a tiny mist, ouch!) and only rode Dragster 1 time because that wait was like 2 hours having been new for the season. UGH!
We actually cut our trip a day short because we were all wiped out from so many rides in 4 days.

I’ll join @anniemarie887 and @gardenvariety88 in growing up
with Harry Potter and loving the books! I’m kind of meh about the movies and
don’t really follow all the games/quizzes/extra stuff though.
Not really an UO, but we have a hilarious work discussion
going on right now about whether foxes are more like dogs or cats. People have
unreasonably strong opinions about this.
@gardenvariety88 I'll join your "healthy interest in Disney but have obsessed family" club. I get excited to go for the nostalgia; my dad and stepmom once built a house with the following attributes: same colors as Cinderella Castle, stained glass mickeys in the front door, multiple disney knicknacks around, his and hers mickey/minnie cabinet door knobs in the bathroom, multiple Disney dining plates/utensils/small appliances, and a holiday disney tree with a monorail model around the base. it was a wild time.
+1 for growing up with HP but not super into it now as an adult. like I enjoy a good butterbeer (fun fact: you can make it yourself with cream soda and butterscotch syrup) and I have a hufflepuff shirt, but I don't go back into the books or watch the movies often.
beakay8 The scientific reasoning
has been discarded (because actual facts and therefore not entertaining) and
the discussion has been moved to who the fox looks more like. So far the “cat” people
are winning.

@inthewoods23@abjm0325 “What does the fox say?” was my first thought. He’s fairly silent, like a cat. Therefore....🐈⬛ I would LOVE to work somewhere that these were the debates with my colleagues😄
@keikilove We're all geeky librarians who love a good debate. Last year at Christmas time there was a heated discussion about the clay-mation Rudolph that resulted in multiple books and the original screenplay being solicited through interlibrary loan. #nerds
@abjm0325 I dunno, this photo of my son in his awkward teenage years, may prove the leading 'fox looks more like cats' theory wrong! P.S. When I say "son" I mean "dog-son"... this photo spoiler will not open to some random kid... this is a DOG (or possibly a fox?)
My husband often takes our fur-children to work with him, and when he was in this awkward teenage stage, the elementary school kids next to his work, who were out at recess saw him over the fence. One of the kids was like "OMG, Ms. Teacher-lady... there's a fox!!!!!" And the teacher looked around, saw the dog, and was like "That's no fox! That's a BIG-ASS DOG!!!"
