My Interview with an Adult Male Fan

Man-on C.
Date of Interview: July 3, 2007
One of the top things that continues to keep a thriving revenue for J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series are the devoted fans. Many have been swept up by the imaginative and creative world in the books and movies. After all, who wouldn't love to have the ability to cast magic and fly on broomsticks!

My first interview with a devoted Harry Potter fan is a 24 year old adult male by the name of Man-on C.

Ayami: So Man-on, how long have you been a fan of the Harry Potter series?
Man-on: Since the first movie, but I didn't get into the books until the 3rd one. I enjoyed the first movie a lot which helped me gain interest in the books.

Ayami: Did you know of the books prior to seeing the first movie? And if so, why did you not have the interest to read it until after seeing the film.
Man-on: Yes, I knew of them but I thought they were going to be too childish.

Ayami: Which movie is your favorite?
Man-on: The Goblet of Fire, it was most like the novel which happens to also be my favorite of the books.

Ayami: Who is your favorite character, and why?
Man-on: My favorite character is Harry because of his perseverance and determination. His courage never falters, he is someone kids can look up to.

Ayami: Are you exited to hear of the plans for a Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Florida?
Man-on: Yes very, I can't wait to visit it. There will be so many fun adventures waiting there for us.

Ayami: What type of themed ride would you like to see once the park is completed?
Man-on: I would like to see a broomstick ride themed around Quidditch. I would also like to enter Hogwarts and be able to ride the moving stairs.

Ayami: Who do you think is planned to die in the final book?
Man-on: I believe Professor McGonagall is going to die because it seems the trend from J.K. Rowland is to kill older people off. It's creating room for the new and vibrant magicians. Dumbledore is gone and his right hand woman is next. Harry will become the most powerful aura of the lands, one to be reckoned with.

Ayami: Do you think Voldemort will finally die for good?
Man-on: No, for his evil soul is eternal. A man as vile as he is can never be destroyed, not even with all of the love in the world.

Ayami: Have you ever dressed up, or better known as cos-played as any of the characters from Harry Potter?
Man-on: Yes, for one Halloween I put a red wig on and pretended I was Ron Weasely. I had a fake white mouse in my left pocket and the Hogwarts robes on. I hoped no other Harry fans would notice that Scabbers was not a rat and the color was wrong.

Ayami: What Harry Potter merchandise do you own?
Man-on: I own a homemade Hogwarts robe, a broken wand, the first three movies on DVD, and all of the books up until the final one.
