yeah i have to agree with you on all of it. but i have white flag on my ipod saying delusional to the end

Ahhhhhhhhh me tooooooo!!!!!!!! I have that. Also, my day is not complete if i havent logged in Portkey, veritaserum and harmony forever. Its like my daily dose of vitamins. and for harmony, i quarreled my sister because she ships R/Hr in the books though in the movie she shiops H/Hr. That's still not good enough for me.

Well, I was worried that I might be obsessed with HHr but now, after reading all the obsessions mentioned here, I realised I might not be too obsessed because my only sign is this:

I tend to fall in love [in my head, of couse] with the HHr fan fiction writers who write wonderful HHr stories because their words seem to mirror my heart. I love Musca, Azure, Paracelsus, Parker Gray, Kate J and Amethyst. There are so many actually - can't list them all down.

I also imagine myself falling in love with good theorists who convince me that HHr is soooo going to happen in Book 7. These include brown, house elf 44, salamon, sherbert lemon, thereader, who else... again, there are many.

I use the term 'falling in love' but it really encompasses admiration, respect, and of course, love as a kindred spirit. Though I do hope that when I find love in real life, it would be like HHr!

well since i work with kids there is one girl who is a heron and tells me all the time that it is going ron and hermione and i tell her harry and hermione well to make a long story shot i have her to say harry twice i rule lol

• Even when you're down, you still think about HHr and it cheers you up.

That's all I can give. I was having a bad day today, but HHr has made it a bit better...

Miss Mady

LOL, I know exactly what you mean. I am totally smitten with Parker G. never mind the fact that I have no idea if they're even male or female, what their age is, etc. Although, I think he's a guy around 25 or 26...who knows? Eeeeew...I'm a fangirl!

BOT - you know you're obsessed when you visit PK SOOOO much that you know who people are just by their avatars...and if they change their avatars, you still know it's them by what they post! Guilty!

LOL I don't even look at names anymore and if someone changes their avatar it totally messes me up!! lol

I'm such a spaz

You know your obsessed with Harry Potter when the new Eragon movie trailer plays and you get all defensive when they say "move over Harry Potter" And you are like NEVER!!!

And oh boy did they mess up Eragon! Given the difference, I would give anything for that movie to have been in Warner Bros' hands. If you liken the HP movies to taking a surgeon's scalpel to Rowling's work, then something attacked Paolini's work with a weed eater.

Staying on topic...

My obsession shows when I started recreating Hogwarts as a setting for a Neverwinter Nights 2 module, and spent no less that 8 hours meticulously putting together Harry and Hermione as NPC's in the setting.

It's amazing how closely a D&D game can emulate the Harry Potter world...

PLEASE everybody, I'm in the middle of reading the first book of the Eragon series so NO SPOILERS WITHOUT WARNING! Thank you!

LOL don't worry I can't give spoilers because I haven't read them yet.

And I present my new avatar!

Yeah, no spoilers to Eragon, I'm waiting until book 3 comes out so I can get it all done in one foul swoop.

Keeping with Topic...

All right I admit it, I usually have Portkey minimized on my toolbar usually. Can't help that I'm addicted to good conversation can I? Especially good conversation about this ship. So that's how I'm obsessed...

~Salamon2

You know you're obsessed when..

You, um, call your black-haired, bespectacled guy best friend by the name of Harry and his brown-haired, brown-eyed girlfriend Hermione.

*facepalm*

Thank goodness, they didn't catch on! Whew! They just looked kinda confused.

I do that in the books I read....if the characters happen to even look remotely like H/Hr.... I, unfortunatly, don't have any friends that look like H/Hr....

That is so cool!

You know when you're obsessed when you are determined to bake Pumpkin Pie for christmas

Lol, I would do that, but I suck at baking...but I did make my grandmother go out and buy one for Christmas!

You know you're obsessed with HHr when:...

• You decide to read OotP again and mark every. single. HHr. moment there is.

Yeah, I'm obsessed...

Miss Mady

Save the pumpkin pie for thanksgiving. Anything else is sacralidge lol. Who knows, maybe next thanksgiving, DH may be already released! If H/Hr happens in it, ohhhhh wow it's gonna be one special THANKSgiving man!

*Raises hand* Actually, I marked all of the HHr moments in all of the books. I have a big stack of pieces of paper that I put in as I read the book. I even did it for HBP when I first read it. Oddly enough, I have several HHR moments at the beginning, but hardly any after the first few chapters. It was somewhere around "Draco's Detour" that I noticed the decline in HHr stuff.

As for the pumpkin pie, I convinced my family that we should have pumpkin pie for Christmas this year.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Cheers,

Madm_05

I'm onto... maybe, the first book now... after I've typed up all the OotP moments and print it...

In fact, I'm typing it as we speak (okay not really, but after this, I will)

Miss Mady

EDIT: I actually marked some of POA before...

You know you're obsessed with HHr when:...

you think that Heron sounds weird and renamed it as MoRon...

I've done pretty much all the things on the list! And I've compared all the relationships in movies I watch to H/Hr and I got my friend and my mother to admit that there was no hint leading to H/G except that Ginny suddenly got pretty. And I got an R/Hr shipper to admit that Hermione and Ron won't last because Hermione would kill him. And reread th books 13 times and I listed the H/Hr moments

I'm a goof.

ok i've got a question (and could use some advice).....
i never finished reading HBP because i got too mad when Hermione cried because of Ron/Lavender!!!!!! i just got so mad that whenever i tried to read the book i got so frustrated and had to stop!
would i be considered obsessed with H/Hr -(delusional,)
crazy,
or just plain weird for getting that mad at a book?

LOL, nah. I've choked up sooo many times ove H/Hr that I've lost count. HBP is frustrating the first time you read it, but i encourage you to go back and try again - this time from a different perspective. Read some of the great threads in the HBP forum and I'm sure you'll feel better.

-When you skip lunch to check fanfiction (teenage boy, this is BIG for me!)

-When you have huge compilations of playlists and slideshows on your ipod dedicated to H/Hr.

-When you get up in the morning and your first thought is of portkey.

-When you have passages from your favorite fanfictions memorized.

-When you're willing to try and convince your friends that your ship owns, despite the fact that you sound like a sap and a nerd.

*does all those things*

You know you've REALLY REALLY lost it when:

- you start going on about how your favorite HHr fanfic author is better than JKR

- you have an intricate system of folders in "My Documents" to hide your shipping obsession from your parents

- JKR says the sky is blue and you can put together a convincing argument about why she said it's green

- you start getting really akward in your platonic relationships

- you start having these violent dreams involving Ginny and Ron

- you lose friends as a result of your enthusiasm

- your copy of OoTP is treated like a priceless religious article

- your copy of HBP gathers dust on your shelf--if it hasn't been burnt in the fireplace already

- you actually weave Harry/Hermione into your political arguments while your friends seriously consider calling the nice young men in the white coats

- you walk by a lake and get this psychotic look in your eye as you stare at the herons

- you get arrested for chopping down trees in your neighborhood


I'm guilty of all but that last one ^

-You start realizing that your shipping prefrences are all like H/Hr.

-Anything with pumpkin in it sounds delicious.

-You try to hide your H/Hr fanfic on your computer so your relatives won't find it.

-You've already picked several Book 7 substitutes just in case DH doesn't end Harmony.

-You minimize Portkey when you're online and when your relative use it, you watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't look.

Quilty of all but the third, but I need to do that.

(my chm teacher does this)

you buy the american and british version of all the books and read them to see which has more hhr moments in them.

You know you're obsessed when you freeze the kiss scene on the GOF DVD for at least a minute during every viewing.

Now, this is very important so listen closely: Did you use dire threats and coercion?

Because if you did, tell us, and talk slowly...

LOL! These are fabulous... btw... it's 6:39am here at the moment so I could either still be asleap or I should be getting ready for work but instead I'm reading a forum on Portkey about how to know when you're obsessed with H/Hr... I think I already know.

Another one... last night my fiance got a new laptop and I got a new camcorder... instead of playing with my new camcorder I left it to charge while I read fanfics...

No not obsessed at all!

You know you're obsessed when...

-You've be a quote on quote 'delusional' shipper, for over half you like, even since Book 3 was released.

LOL, my hubby got me a new ipod, but I let it sit in the box while I checked PK (for the thousandth time that day and my fav. fics on AFF.

Today we were going for a really long car ride, and I was lying down in the backseat because I was ill.
Then the commercial comes on the radio, and I hear HHR, I sit up and start screeching/laughing....my parnets freaked out.

Guilty of those

Also when you and your best friend have actually created a Harry Potter ship book and Harry and Hermione have 2 pages .

When you are chatting with Portkey regulars on MSN, have a post by brown (from HarmonyForever) minimized on your toolbar, a post by bamaslamma29 (from HarmonyForever) minimized on your toolbar, a link to Emma - the complete book - minimized on your toolbar, all while listening to H/Hr songs on your ipod.

I swear to God, that was me about 3 hours ago.

That was intense!

I've done almost all of the ones everyone's talking about.

how about:

1. You get laugh at everyone when they mixed up delusion and illusion on the grammar test and you didn't.
2. You get angry at the professor/teacher when he/she describes being delusional as a terrible disease of some sort.
3. You spent four dollars just to try the pumpkin pie latte at Starbucks.
4. You automatically see netspeak as OBHWF lingo.
5. You read fanfic in your spanish class...
6. ...outloud.
7. You have at least 1 fanfic with you while in class.
8. You got PK banned at your highschool because you were on it at inappropriate times.
9. You have used HHr avatars/pictures on school projects that have nothing to do with the HP Series.
10. You gave a 12 minute speech about HP as a project and 7 minutes of it was about HHr.
11. You take pictures of anything that says HHR or Harmony or Delusional on it.
12. A significant amount of your songs are on a HHr playlist of some sort.
13. You know more about ancient symbolism than anyone ever should.
14. You look in all other books/movies for couples that remind you of HHr.
15. You have successfully brainwashed your younger sister into shipping HHr and hating R/Hr and H/G.

SingInHarmony - first post! Welcome!

BOT - how funny is this:

So, I'm laying on my bed reading OoTP (like my 25th re-read, he he) and I hear my daughter ask my husband "How do you spell McDonalds?" He says "Big M, little c, big D..." I started laughing because I was on the page RIGHT BEFORE the one where Dudley's friends are calling him "Big D" and Harry mocks him...I am such a nerd...

You read this entire thread and couldn't stop laughing.

****
Lol thats so funny. ha. thats SO me. and i thought i was the only crazy one!! Im not embarrased either!


oh, and that's true of me too ^

I did that! I did that! It kinda sucks now, though....

1. When you are staying awake some day until 3 to 4 in the morning to read PK or the forum.
2. When you spend the whole day thinking about a special H/H moment in the book and keep asking yourself why Rowling chose this word and can not bring your mind to concentrate on anything else beside Teacooking.
3.When you realized that Bellum Gallicum from Ceasar was really dull and buy the HP version in Latin and began to read it hoping that this magical story would help you to pass the test.
4. You realized that you have a mythological folder for quick reference, and a full HP folder on your fayourite
5.Spend the whole day reading FF and realized that some fanficwriter may have written better story that Rowling herself.
6.Began to see alchemical reference in every painting you see.
7.Try to spend one whole day building a mode for Oblivion but didnt get far.
8. Have the PK toolbar all the day and night.

Just nice to know that I not the only one obsessed. Frankly I pretty normal I´am?
Cheers

You know that your obsessed with H/Hr...


that it never leaves your mind, and when you begin talking to your best girl friend, you call her Hermione. I felt like such a dork, because she has red hair and blue eyes.

When you're just about to burn all the H/Hr vids you've downloaded to a disk, you glance at the CD's brand name ...and it happens to be "Harmony".

That's awesome....so ironic. I had a bracelet that read "Harmony and Balance" and no one understood why I wore it all the time with a huge grin on my face

• When I listen to songs, either "Harry/Hermione" goes through my mind or "Ugh! Harry/Ginny." ...but I don't say the Harry/Ginny often because most of the songs are H/Hr friendly!

Miss Mady

My daughter said this today (she's 7)


When you're watching the trailer commercial for the new Beatrix Potter movie and they say "Miss Potter", and you say "WHAT? That's Hermione!!!"

Hahaha! That's SO cute!!!

strangely, that's exaktly what happened to me just yesterday... i was browsing around a local bookstore and came across a book entitled 'miss potter', AUTOMATICALLY hermione came to mind that i actually picked it up without thinking!

...and then i saw the cover, it's the one they're making a movie about, with renee zellweger in it...

it was quite an embarrassing moment pour moi...

Yeah. I actually had to do my work. What's up with that?!

-You get physically mad at bad H/Hr fic.

-The same as above for bad art.
