Hello

Penny

Hello. My name’s Penny, I’m diagnosed with ASD but it was when I was 4 and was called Asperger’s Syndrome then. Not a lot has changed since my diagnosis, I think things have gotten worse but then there is a lot of stress in my life and that leads to a lot of masking but I’m trying to mask less and cope with things better.

My fave thing is Harry Potter. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan! It’s my special interest. I love all the books and movies and own a lot of Harry Potter collectables. Also enjoy gaming and spend most of my time playing The Sims 4..

I’m trying to get through life as an autistic adult and taking each day as it comes.

Nice to meet you.

Best wishes,
Penny Two hearts

  • Hello Penny and welcome to the community.

    I've just finished a bit of a marathon re-watch of the HP films and will give the books a re-read before I watch the new TV series. I found there is so much missed out from the films that it is worth reading after watching to catch the details.

    I do wish they had worked on some other spin off rather than remaking the books in TV format - there is a lot in that universe to explore.

    Do you follow any of the fan fiction writers?

    Hello Iain, thank you for the welcome.

    I have a monthly re-watch of all the Harry Potter’s every month, a routine I started years ago and have done ever since. I agree with you completely, so much is in the books and I guess they couldn’t fit it all in to the movies. I love reading the books, there’s so many fun bits and facts that aren’t seen in the movies.

    The TV series was a bit of a disappointment for me. Like you I wish they had explored other areas in the Potterverse, like they did with the Fantastic Beasts trilogy which is in a different time period and features a lot of unseen magic and animals. I was hoping they would do something like this again rather than remake the original story into a TV series. Maybe one day they’ll do another spin off for a different unseen part of the magical world.

    Yes I do! Some of the fan fiction is so well done and I would totally buy them if they were properly released books, it’s like it belongs in the official Harry Potter saga and should be being released. I think my fave is Lomonaaeren because they are so unique but FloreatCastellum also writes amazing stuff. Do you have a fave?
