Is it weird that I’ve never read the HP books after YEARS of reading Drarry?
Hi everyone! I wanted to discuss this because I was talking to a friend who’s a huge Harry Potter fan. She’s read all the books, watched the movies hundreds of times, and was really surprised when I told her that I’ve barely watched the movies a few times and have never actually read the books since I’ve been reading Drarry fanfics for almost 8 years, and Drarry is one of my favorite ships of all time
The t is that I’ve just never felt the need to read the original books because 1- Drarry isn’t canon
and 2- I also feel like I probably wouldn’t discover much new information, since I already know most of the important things about the universe and the characters from years of reading REALLY good fanfics.
So… should I actually read the books? Or can I just continue to read fanfic with the shame of never having “cared” about the actual HP universe?
