These 10 Harry Potter Characters Started My Fangirl Life

I started my fangirling in 4th grade, how about you?

I know this will sound like a total cliche, but I am a die-hard Harry Potter fan (I'm totally serious, ask me about my trip to Universal Studios when this is over.) I remember reading my first Harry Potter novel in the fourth grade, and I remember this so vividly because this was when my love for reading was at its zenith. While almost 10 years later, the story of The Boy Who Lived still means as much as it did in elementary school, if not more. In honor of my 10 year anniversary as a Potter fan, I decided to pay homage by personally thanking 10 of my favorite characters in the series.

1. Harry Potter

Is this even a thing if I don't mention Harry? Thank you, Harry, for picking bravery over everything. Thank you for not minding your business at Hogwarts, and always bringing me along with you on your adventures. While your inferences weren't exactly accurate, your ability to stay until the end (the very end) was a message to me in a sense that even though we do not choose our destinies, it is up to us as to what we make out of our experiences.

2. Ronald Weasley

"How dare you steal that car?" Honestly, I'm really glad that you did, because if you didn't... well that would have been the ending of one of my favorite stories. When you joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team in your 5th year, you taught me that our failures truly do not define us, rather what we do with those failures makes us who we are.

3. My good sis Hermione Granger

I think every little girl who read Harry Potter wanted to see Hermione in themselves at one point. Hermione taught me that it is perfectly fine to be smart and to hold that identity close to our hearts. While I'm still waiting for the alternative Yule Ball where Ron asks you first, I'm so happy that you chose your happiness. Even though you look out for your friends, you never forgot your worth, and that is what makes you ah-mazing.

4. Luna Lovegood

I knew the moment that I was introduced to Luna Lovegood that she would definitely be one of my favorite characters. Luna was actually me the adolescent version of me (if I had long blonde hair and blue eyes and had my ears pierced but you get the idea). Moreover, Luna was the girl that everyone called "weird" or "crazy" because she saw the world differently, just like me, and she wasn't afraid to do so. For that Luna, we raise our wands to you.

5. Draco Malfoy

I have been a Draco Malfoy stan for a while. He's honestly my number 1 favorite character ( we stan a plot twist). I've always favorited the bad guys, and he's high key my favorite. He also may or may not be my childhood crush but we'll roll with it.

6. Molly Weasley

I'm not even gonna lie, I didn't realize how much I admired Molly until I got older, which is why I think I love her so much. The way she took Harry under her wing was super amazing, and she's totally applause-worthy.

7. Shacklebolt Kingsley

Kingsley is definitely an unsung hero. He seemed to always be there when we needed him, and he is always dressed to the nines.

8.Fred and George Weasley

My favorite class clowns. Life at Hogwarts, from a viewer's perspective, can seem super serious and stressful. Thankfully, Fred and George never failed to bring light to the scene.

9. Neville Longbottom

How can we forget about Neville? He never failed to rise to the occasion, and he definitely made his parents proud. When so many people counted him out, he refused to live under that label.

10.Ginny Weasley

High-key glad that Harry saved you from the chamber of secrets. I feel like we watched Ginny grow from a Harry twitter stan to his biggest fan in the most mature way possible. She always rooted for him and her bravery was impeccable.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
