HP history: My little brother said wizards were cool and I should read this book about a kid named Harry. In order to prove to him that
wizards weren't cool, I read it to make fun of him. Unfortunately for me, wizards ARE cool. Been hooked ever since.
Personal life: I'm making a career out of being a student, starting my masters this year. I like trees and fish and otherwise outdoorsy
stuff, so when I'm not glued to this screen or planning some event for the site - I'm usually out being a nerd.
Favorite food: Sweet tea

HP History: To begin with, I only got into the hype because I was annoyed about the amount of publicity that the Goblet of Fire novel was getting
before it was released. I decided to try the books out and was lucky enough to go to three midnight releases afterwards.
Personal life: I am quite interested in sports, films and playing both the electric and acoustic guitar. However, being a teenager means that
school takes up a lot of my time. I'm studying a handful of Sciencey A-Levels and hope to enter university in 2009, studying much more science.

HP history: I never wanted to read HP. It was too hyped up and I hate getting involved with really popular things. But, one day I went over to
visit my in-laws and my mother in-law had SS on the TV. I loved it. So, I went out and bought it and the newly released CoS on DVD. Then, I had to read
the books because I just had to find out more about this Snape character and what happened next. Once I finished GoF I scoured the web to find out when
the next book would be released. I spent a lot of time on thesnitch.com but, when I started looking for more than just news I decided to browse their
affiliates. That's how I found SS and I've been here ever since.
Personal life: I am married to a wonderful man who indulged me by reading the first five books and came with my mom (another huge fan) and me to
the opening night showing of PoA. We were married October 26, 2002 and on May 18, 2005 we welcomed our first son, Alexander Shawn, into the world. I quit
my job as a biochemist at Dartmouth Medical School to be a full time mom. On January 4, 2007 we had a daughter, Elizabeth Kristi. I am currently taking
online courses toward my Masters in biochemistry in between taking Xander to/from preschool, entertaining the kids, cleaning our church and putting
together the bulletins. I spend my free time on SS and crocheting.
Favorite food: Chocolate anything (as long as it isn't ruined by fruit, which was meant to be eaten whole, fresh, raw & unadulterated)

HP history: The first book was released in the US when I was in middle school and I was asked to read it for a book report. I absolutely
loved the first book and my love for the series has continuing growing ever since! I've anxiously awaited the release of each book and movie to this date
and am grateful I've found Snitchseeker to pick up where Deathly Hallows left off - giving me the opportunity to explore the amazing world Rowling
created with others who enjoy it as much as I do!
Personal life: I'm a dental school student, studying to be a general dentist right now. Prior to dental school, I received an
Undergraduate degree in Nutritional Science from Boston University. Though most of my time is spent treating patients and studying, I enjoy spending my
free time with my fiance Jeff, family and friends, reading (anything but textbooks), watching movies, exercising, and relaxing anytime I get the chance
(because it doesn't happen often!) And of course, I spend probably way too much time on SS, but it is totally worth it!
Favorite Food: Biscuits, shaved steak sandwiches with mayo and onions, and tempura chicken

HP history: I bought the first book as a birthday present for my husband, then ended up snagging it and reading it myself. From there, I
read the next four in like a month. Then thought I'd die waiting for book 6. In retrospect, I'm lucky I started late on them ... there was a lot less
waiting time that way. Anyway, I got everyone in my family hooked on the books - even my 95-year-old grandmother! My favorite HP book is Chamber of
Secrets and favorite HP film is Prisoner of Azkaban.
Personal life: I was born and raised in L.A. (If I had a dollar for every earthquake I've been through ...) I'm married and have two
kids - 8 and 11 - both HP fanatics, thank you very much! My husband is a jujitsu instructor – that’s how we met (I'm a green belt). I went to film school
(that sounds so L.A., I know) and graduated university with a communications/film degree. I'm actually listed on imdb.com - how'd that happen? I worked for awhile as a film editor and, before you ask, no I don't work in
the movie business anymore - those people are weird. Anyway, I've been working as a copy editor for a cancer research hospital for over 10 years, helping
them promote their latest discoveries and such through the media.

HP history: I first read Harry Potter when I was about 10, but didn't become a fan until around the release of PoA. From then on I was
hooked. I loved the fact that I got to grow up with Harry. Oddly enough he's been the one consistant element in my life for about 10 years. I love the
books dearly but am also a great fan of the films, often turning into an apologist for the cuts they make. LOL
Personal life: I've just finished an undergraduate degree in Journalism, Film & Media at Cardiff University. For now, I'm unemployed,
but I hope to get a job in marketing and PR with a view to writing for television (thereby combining my two biggest passions) in the future. I love
hanging out with friends, especially those from the university Harry Potter society (for which I've been on the executive committee for 2 years). I love
watching films, watching tv, travelling, going to conventions & generally doing other geeky fandom stuff. I also love reading, writing, laughing, joking
around, listening (& singing, badly...) to cheesey pop music, shopping, visiting places of historical interest & spending time with my family.

HP History: One of my friends had been pushing me to read the books, but with important school exams coming up I didn’t have time. Then
in the school holidays I saw Philosopher’s Stone and was instantly hooked, so I got all the books (1-4) immediately.
Personal Life: I've recently finished a University degree so I'll be starting a new career in '09. I love my family, animals, music,
sport and cold weather. I have several movie, TV and literature obsessions which I greatly enjoy watching and reading. Oh. And I say 'no worries'. A lot.

Born April 3
Residing in Ohio, USA
HP history: I discovered the Harry Potter books on one of those long visits to family in another state. My younger cousin had the first
three books, and my younger sister picked them up to read. When I finally managed to steal them for myself, I enjoyed the first two, but it was PoA that
got me truly hooked. I've been members of a few websites and groups, mostly those dealing with really nerdy in-depth study and oddball theories about
what's to come, but I came to SS through the first Potter Project over two years ago.
Personal life: In my spare time, and when I'm not on SS, I enjoy reading, writing, movies, and generally goofing off with friends.

HP history: I finally broke down and watched the first movie and thought it was really good. A friend that I worked with at the time
brought me the book to read and ever since then, I have been a huge fan. I didn't come around until the 5th book had just came out sooo...that is bad on
my part but I did come out of my shell.
Personal life: I'm married to a wonderful man and we were married on October 25, 2003. We have one child, he has four legs and is a

HP history: I borrowed my stepbrother's copy of Sorcerer's stone during a family picnic. I finished the book the same day. Hooked, I made my Mother take me immediately the other day to get Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. After that it was pretty much just starry eyed love.
Personal life: I'm a 22 year old Communications student (nearly finishing! *flailflail*), I live with my grandfather, little brother, mother and stepfather. I have three dogs and a bird. I wish I could have even MORE pets. I love animals of almost every kind--except insects, especially roaches, childhood trauma.

Residing in Puerto Rico
Languages: Spanish and English
HP history: The first book was assigned by my 11th grade English teacher back in 2000. I read it and was surprised to find that I actually liked it. Found out there were three other books out at that moment. I got them, and read them, same when the 4th came out later that year and the 5th. Saw the movies and such but I became really hooked after the 3rd movie when I started rereading the series and I haven't looked back.
Personal life: I'm currently a Graduate Student, working on my Masters in Molecular Biology. When I finally graduate, I plan on getting my Ph. D at some point. I love to read, watch too much tv and play on the computer way too much. Also going out with my friends every once in a while.

News territory: New York
HP history: I was a bit of a late comer to the HP world. I kept hearing about the books, but the popularity was against them in my mind
- nothing can live up to the hype! I finally caved when GoF came out and bought all 4 published works. I was hooked from then on. I found SnitchSeeker a
couple of years after that and was so pleased to find others with the same interest. As a staff member I started out as a Fan Fiction and News Mod and
went on to Mod and Admin in several other areas of the site. I am now Member Support Admin meaning I do what I love best, being of assistance to members
and fellow staff!
Personal life: Outside of SS and the HP world I am a Registered Nurse specializing in newborns and children. I am married and have two
daughters Rhiannon and Samantha also known as Nonnie and Sammie to my fellow SnitchSeekers. Things I like to do include: reading, travel, archaeology, NY
baseball (go Yanks), playing on the computer, movies, TV, and fun things with my kids.

Languages: English, understand some French
HP history: My mother in law told me about this book that was taking the world by storm. It was a kids book, and even adults were nuts
about it. Then I got PS for Christmas, then went out after and bought CoS and PoA. I was hooked. I started reading Fan Fic online back in 2003, and
discovered SS through the Potter Project. When it ended I helped found Project Ferret - a collaborative HP FF writing community. I returned with the PF
team to help moderate The Potter Project 2 and just stuck around. I've moderated in the Fan Fiction department since 2004. In late 2006, I began
producing the SnitchSeeker Weekly Podcast.
Personal life: Married since 1994 to an awesome guy (alias "EvilB"). We have two brilliant and gorgeous children, Maeve and Liam. They
don't leave much time for hobbies, but I make time for HP, music and making bead and wire jewelry. I'm a stay-at-home-mom and loving it.
