Shraddha Almeida has been a Harry Potter fan for more than 18 years now and over the years, she has only grown to love the series of books more than ever before and doesn't intend to stop any time soon as she has built her own Harry Potter universe in her home. An healthy obsession that started out with the books that were bought from her parents's money has today translated into her feeding her love for the franchise in many different ways. Earlier this year, British actor Miriam Margolyes, who plays Professor Pomona Sprout in the films on the series, spoke about the fandom on New Zealand's 1 News Network saying she worries for Harry Potter fans. She goes on to say, "They should be over that by now. It was over 25 years ago and it is for children." While Margolyes clarified that she believes it is for children, mid-day.com went in search of some of the biggest fans in Mumbai and India and Almeida is only one of them.
