Hardcore Harry Potter Fans Force Their Obsession On Their Daughter, She Finally Rebels, Causes Family Drama
Whatever substance you’re consuming—whether it’s coffee or Harry Potter—you need to have limits. One of them is not shoving it down other people’s throats against their will.
Every generation finds its own way to torture its children. I guess ours is obsessive fandoms.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s perfectly normal to support a sports team or know every lyric to every song that your favorite musician has released. But it’s another thing entirely to be completely consumed by it to a point where you base your family’s entire life around it.
And unfortunately, that’s exactly what Redditor LEAVEMEALOOOOOONE accuses her parents of.

LEAVEMEALOOOOOONE said Reddit’s reaction was a mix of nice, annoying, funny, encouraging, and even creepy.
“I got a lot of DMs from people, I’m still getting them,” she told Bored Panda. “A lot of them asked me for my name, which is really creepy. I had some grown adults offering to take me to see Arches or go camping with them which is insanely creepy. Then I had a lot of men DM me to recommend me a bunch of crusty old fantasy books when I made it pretty clear I can’t stand fantasy. I have nice people DM me but honestly, it’s creepy to DM a 15-year-old to strike up a conversation.”
The teenager said she’s been more or less fine after the family conflict broke out. “I’ve been at Missy’s a lot because [my parents] ramp up the Harry Potter stuff before Christmas and it’s really boring.”
“I mean I have to be there for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I’m probably just going to hang out in my room if they’re watching the movies,” she explained.
LEAVEMEALOOOOOONE also added that if someone tells you ‘I don’t like Harry Potter’ it’s “really dumb” to reply to them with a bunch of jokes about it. “A lot of people think they’re more clever than they really are,” she said.
People are completely on the girl’s side
