And I guess my favorite Wizarding World experience is when I first saw The Order of the Phoenix at the theatre. I hadn't really read any of the books up to that point, and the only movie I'd seen (Sorcerer's Stone) I'm pretty sure I only watched on VHS at home. So Order of the Pheonix could be seen as my first "real" Wizarding World experience, even though I didn't end up fully getting into it until several years later.

And I have to say, for someone who hadn't read the book the movie was based on, or any of the previous ones, I seem to recall having a decent grasp on what was going on in the story. That might be why Order of the Phoenix remains one of my favorite films and why I think it's one of the better adaptations.

I was also really happy when I was sorted as a Thunderbird at Ilvermorny. I almost began to sympathize with Albus Potter after I got sorted into Gryffindor despite not really feeling like I belonged there, so I was really worried about taking the quiz for Ilvermorny's sorting, since I knew I wouldn't be able to change the outcome.
