Today, It's been a few months since I started reading the Harry Potter books to my daughter. She told me a list of all her favorite characters. I didn't have the heart to tell her that every single one of them dies by the end of the seventh book. FML

Today, my daughter turned 11. Since she LOVES Harry Potter, I decided to write her an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. When she saw the letter, she screamed and showed me. When she found out I wrote it, she told me she hated me, started crying, and stepped on my foot. FML

Today, I walked in on my daughter hugging and sobbing into her Edward Cullen cut-out. She won't tell me what's wrong, yet she can confide in a creepy fictional stalker whose facial expression is locked to "chronically constipated". Where did I go wrong? FML

Today, I was going through my daughter's contacts, except all of them had names from Harry Potter. I found the name "Mom." I was relieved I didn't have some silly name, until I realized it wasn't my number; it was her father's new wife. My number was under "Voldemort." FML

Today, after months of being pestered to do so, I finally read the first Harry Potter book. I hated it. Upon hearing this, my girlfriend posted the fact on Facebook, where I immediately received tons of abuse and eventual shunning by my friends, family, and coworkers. My girlfriend just laughed. FML

Today, I saw on my 17-year-old daughter's floor her "To-Do" list. What was #1? Jump in front of a moving vehicle, in hopes that Edward Cullen will use his vampire speed to save her. FML

How could she just dump Harry Potter like that?! ?

At least it's a less harmful obsession than boys. Fictional werewolves and vampires can't give girls STDs like herpes or pregnancy. Better Team Jacob than Team Chlamydia.

That doesn't mean anything. If that's your argument, then no one should read Harry Potter or Maximum Ride or Goosebumps, etc, etc.

On the bright side, at least is isn't 50 Shades of Gray.

It could easily lead to that. It is just Twilight fanfiction with small details changed to avoid a lawsuit.

Point her to Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak series. It's got vampires, werewolves, mystery, some magic and a war. In short, it's a wayy better series than harry potter and twilight

Maybe you can turn it into a teachable moment about what is and isn't part of a healthy relationship.

No!! Please! Not again! I'm still traumatized from when my sister was obsessed with Twilight.
