Anyways, I am pretty much doing this blog post to tell the world how awesome Harry Potter is. This post is my tribute to Harry Potter. I am sure that you all think I am strange, but there are much stranger ways to have fandom tributes.
For example, there is fanfiction.net, wherein fans can take some characters and/or plots of that genius J.K. Rowling and write all kinds of insane stories. This got me thinking: just how crazy are people when it comes to honoring Harry Potter? I know that many of my friends are going to dress in wizard robes, speak in fancy-pants British voices, and possibly engage in mimed and bitter duels in honor of their respective houses (Ravenclaw is the best. Just sayin').
I trolled the Internet for a while, and here are some of the things that I found:
You know that you want these shoes. They were handpainted. What a labor of love! What a tribute to Harry Potter! I'm not sure I'd like walking around with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named on my foot though. Thank you to the Cheeseburger Network for providing this lovely image.
Also, I found eighty million videos of people pretending to be wizards, including one that took place in a train station, with someone pretending to be Voldemort mock torturing some poor bastard for information.
Is public mock torture by use of an unforgivable curse legal?
At least one woman looked really confused and frightened. She may not have heard of Harry Potter. Or, she may have heard too much of Harry Potter, and concluded that it is ALL REAL. And the Dark Lord was REALLY TORTURING that guy.
I also read about a crazy Japanese fan touching and smelling Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint.
You know, I am a super fan of Harry Potter, but these people seem a bit strange to me...
Everyone MUST SEE the movie within the next week, or I will find you.

ps: A shout out to Nurse Buttons because he shamelessly begged me for a shout out.
pps: We had a commercial shoot in our dorm lobby today. That has absolutely nothing to do with anything in this blog, but I thought that it was interesting and I wanted to share.
