hello :) i'm pretty much the newest newbie ever! i first became intersted in HP by taking my sister to see the movies. i started reading the books 2 years ago, and only recently discovered the fansites and podcasts. i'd love to go to a gathering like Portus...it'll just be tricky rounding up some friends to go with, as not too many of them are into HP (how dare they!) and as i live in ny, traveling to texas alone...scary thought!!! if there's anyone that has gone to a previous gathering like prophecy or one of the others, i'd love to hear about what all they do there. i've read some of the websites, but would love to hear a fan account.

Hi,

DH was also my favorite of the books...even if you come alone, you won't be lonely...HP fans are the best in the world...and very friendly...

Don't worry if you do not have friends to go along with. Prophecy was my first and I met some great people. I personally enjoyed working as an Securor,(security) and did not worry about attending all of the lectures and such. Make sure you go to the feasts, dance, and the fun things. You will find that everyone wants to talk about different aspects of H.P. You'll have no trouble finding people to be with who will listen to your ideas and opinions and there are plenty who will want to share thier ideas with you. Just go and go to have fun. The Ministry of Magic encourages these sorts of things . Just make sure to obey all of the rules. MOM's Man
