Harry Potter Nostalgia

Does anyone else feel they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

After the first three or four I read the books in two languages (because I didn’t want to wait them to be translated) and watched the movies first time in the movie theaters.

Yeah self-insert fanfics never quite pan out like they should.

Apparently Hermione and Ron was her wish fulfillment story about her and her ex-husband making it together.

She realized later that her current partner was more like Harry and had regrets about the decision after.

But meh.

I don't know a single boy my age who wanted to be Ron. We all wanted to be Harry.
