Nor I, you, which is what ultimately made me pull my head out of my ass. I mean, I have stuff that means shitloads to me that I know is not for everybody (one of my "feel-good" movies involves actual shit-eating, after all, but I still maintain that's one of the less appalling of the appalling things in Pink Flamingos).
I have to say, I was extremely relieved so far (one book and half of the second) in, that the magic is generally highly fictionalized and not Pagan/real Witchcraft (although just for shits and giggles, my Witches' Datebook marks the day that the first movie opened, as well as the premier of BeWitched). which is one of the reasons this series (https://alivemagdolene.livejournal.com/523049.html) threw me (although I still mostly enjoyed it).
I joined Pottermore! Mostly it was because I was curious about to which house I belonged, but I've heard such nice things. And I don't think that's terrible or that you're a terrible person, because if someone is that genre-unsavvy, fuck them. :^D I mean seriously. Now I'm uber curious to take the actual Pottermore sorting (the sorting tests I used were just random ones; I recognized the name Pottermore and realized it could be "trusted" more than say Buzzfeed's). I forget if I've mentioned this, but an animal patronus/power animal for which I feel a great affinity is the lion! I talk about it here (https://alivemagdolene.livejournal.com/388505.html), along with some other Witch stuff.
Thank you! ^_^ She was actually thrilled, much to my relief (not that I thought she'd hate it, but... I dunno).
RANDOM MEMORY: I'd forgotten about this, but rewatching the first movie reminded me. My high priestess in the coven read/wrote Potter fanfic, and she once linked to one she'd read because it was so good. I was slightly inexperienced at the time in reading actual fanfic (this was before I joined/belonged to any "official" communities) but goddamn, it was aged-up Harry/Snape and it was really hot. The memory of it all these years later makes me blush, particularly since Alan Rickman is kinda hot (and I love his appearance on King of the Hill and the weirdness of him being stunt-cast as Ronald fucking Reagan in The Butler).
