I actually got into HP in 1999 as well! But not in the fandomy sense as much as the "wow these books are way better than I thought they'd be" sense. Although I did plan out a few fanfics. I even found a HP forum somewhere, but felt "weird" joining.
but I always loved that the trio was only born a few years before I was.
Yeah, and whenever I read a new book I was only a bit older than the trio in those books. (Actually, when I read PoA and GoF respectively, Hermione and I were the same age. Like her I was a year older than most of my peers.) But they were born 5-6 years before I was.
