That Insane Harry Potter Fan Has Found His Voldemort
Remember this dude? The crazy-ass Potter-philiac who was applying to be Moviefone’s “biggest fan”? Well, he may have met his match:
This Twilight-loving girl is also applying for the biggest fan contest (which, incidentally, is like a gold mine of nerd comedy for me); what she lacks in merchandise she makes up for in full-blown crazy and willingness to die for fictional characters. Tell me: How much would you pay to see her and Harry Potter kid fight to the death? Because I’m willing to put up $100, personally. If we all pool in together, we might be able to make this happen.
