Surely,

Some of us Harry Potter fans have a bit of a problem. It’s not a large problem necessarily. Not life threatening, but it does cause dilemma for many. The problem interferers with fan fiction reading and writing for some. For others, it makes posting in forums and taking stances in arguments a tad more difficult then it is for most. Some have to hide their little secret, pretending to have only one stance and secretly indulging in the other when no one is looking.
