*Name: Felipe
*Also known as: Philip (If in person you can't pronounce my name, you may call me Philip. But, please NOT Phil, LOL, please)
*Age/Gender: 19 (I'll be 21 by the time Infinitus comes around! Party at the CityWalk clubs!)
*Birthplace/Livingplace: Born in Argentina / Currently living in Florida, USA
*Personality: Obsessed with Harry Potter! Love different styles of music, reading, art. I'm sort of shy when meeting people for the first time, but warm up to people quickly.
*Words (or small phrases) friends have used to describe you: they sometimes lol at my obsession with HP...
*Words (or small phrases) you have used to describe you: I'm a pretty quiet person most of the time, but I have those days where I'm very excited and I'm not so quiet... haha! Though, I'm always respectful of others and can't stand prejudice or malice...
*Anything else you'd like to reveal?: I love learning different languages! I speak fluent Spanish and English. I also know my basic French. I know some words in Portuguese, Italian and Japanese. Oh! I know how to count to 10 in Korean!
*Education/Work: Graduated High School in 2007. I'm working right now in an office doing administrative stuff... Hopefully I'll also be studying in college soon!
*Favourite HP book: OotP
*Favourite HP character(s) - Canon and Fanon: Snape, Dumbledore, Luna
*Favourite HP line: I wanna say "Not my daughter, you bitch!" but that's just the most memorable, not my favorite. I can't think of my favorite now...
*Watching/Avoiding the HP movies? Definitely watching!! The first movie got me to read the books. I obviously love the books much, much, MUCH more than the movies, but still love the movies, and love to hate them too sometimes! lol!
*How about HP merchandise? I'm a collector of all things HP for sure! Here's what I own to date:

BOOKS:
- I have OotP, HBP and DH first editions in hard back from midnight release parties (Scholastic)
- All 7 hardback books from Scholastic from the trunk set
- All 7 hardback from Bloomsburry set
- All 7 hardback in Spanish from publisher Salamandra.
- Harry Potter ŕ l'école des sorciers - SS in French paperback from Gallimard
- OotP, HBP and DH Collectors' Editions
- Beedle the Bard Collectors' Edition and the mass release one by Scholastic
- Quidditch and Fantastic Beasts set
- Harry, A History by Melissa Anelli
- Mugglenet's What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7

MOVIES/DOCUMENTARIES:
- 2-Disc editions of movies 1-5 (I love them Special Features!)
- Wizard Rockumentary
- We Are Wizards

BOARD GAMES/VIDEOGAMES:
- Harry Potter chess set (plastic, NOT the uber-expensive one from the Noble Collection)
- OotP videogame for PS2

MISCELLANEOUS:
- Set of Galleon, Sickle and Knut replicas (Noble Collection)
- Time-Turner replica (wooden, not the gold/silver one made by Noble)

MORE:
One day I'll be a millionaire and I'll buy the entire Harry Potter Noble Collection... wishful thinking...

*Current reading: An Abundance of Katherines by John Green (02/2009)
*Favourite music: So many different kinds! I like pretty much anything, although I'm not huge on screamo or death metal; they give me headaches. Depending on my mood I'll listen to different things.
*Favourite TV: All CSI shows
*Favourite cinema: I love Harry Potter movies! They're the only movies for which I'll go to midnight screenings. Still, I like a good indie, comedy, drama, fantasy, some romance too (as long as it's not sappy), and some sci-fi. Not really into horror, but I'll go see a horror with friends, if majority rules.
*Favourite fandom websites: Mostly Leaky. I visit SnitchSeeker, HPANA and some others from time to time.
*Favorite non-fandom website: Google. It's simply awesome.

*Philosophy for an easy life? Always be polite. Treat others the way you wanna be treated. (Pretty simple concept)

*I have a MySpace and Facebook, but at the moment I'd rather use MyLeaky (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/myleaky/p/felipe_q) because it rocks!

I think that's everything about me, maybe too much... haha! See y'all around! :D

Wow, that's an impression collection! I guess all you have left to add is a wizard rock album collection. =P

I only have 'Abundance of Katherines' left to read...I've read John Green's other books. I hear it's a really refreshing read!

Hi, Filipe. I'm also in Orlando. It'll be nice to simply drive over to the conference and not have to make any other travel arrangements. See you there.
