The fact that I'm a nerd probably isn't news to you by now, but how deep does my nerd vein run? Well, let me tell you:

I'm sure that many of you know of fanfiction, fan written stories stemming from television shows, books and movies.

Fanfictions usually involve an author avatar bedding a favorite character and range from bad to horrendously homicidal. Many years ago a little 'fic called 'My Immortal' made shock waves in the Harry Potter fandom for its unapologetic canon lacerations, blatant author insert, and an upsetting, graphic butchering of the English language.

'My Immortal' now holds the infamous title of Worst Fanfiction of All Time.

And that is saying a lot.

So now, without further adieu, Hellfire Comm's Dramatic Reading of My Immortal, Chapter Four:

VIOWER EXCRETION ADVISD: This video contains a reading of graphic yet ill informed attempts at sex.

I specifically remember in 2001 - nine years ago - going to see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone with my Aunt and cousin. The near-yearly Harry Potter trip to the movie theater is a voyage I have been making since I was 12 years old, along with millions of other kids. We grew up with the Golden Trio, not only in the books, but in the films as well and luckily for us, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint didn't turn out too bad.

So here's a yearbook commemorating the beginning of the end for our 9 year journey. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

Daniel Radcliffe, a child actor with a few roles under his tiny belt, was scouted out by Potter producer David Heyman while attending a play in 2000. After a series of auditions among the likes of Haley Joel Osment, Radcliffe was cast as the most famous pre-teen in the world with author J.K. Rowling's personal stamp of approval: "Having seen Dan Rancliffe's screen test, I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry." Columbus added himself, "There were times when we felt we would never find an individual who embodied the complex spirit and depth of Harry Potter... [But] the moment he walked into the room we knew we'd found Harry."

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Radcliffe quickly began making a name for himself away from the Potter series, co-starring in a production of The Play What I Wrote in London.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

As you might remember, a catastrophic tsunami hit Sri Lanka around the time Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was shot. Radcliffe helped with the Rebuilding Sri Lanka Organization, along with financially contributing to the relief fund himself. This is also about the time that Radcliffe began showing up in television shows, poking fun at himself. That lengthy list starts in 2005 with Foley and McColl: This Way Is Up.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix (2007)

In 2007 Radcliffe set shock waves around the world with the decision to star in the play Equus, the story of a man who is sexual fixated with horses. Though the play had been performed numerous times since it's first run in the 1970's by many actor's Radcliffe's age, Radcliffe raised a few eyebrows by performing - as the script dictated - a scene in the nude. This prompted boycott of Harry Potter by parents of young Potter fans, who were scared that their impressionable young children would start performing naked in London plays. Or something to that effect.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

In an interview with Attitude, Radcliffe spoke out as a gay rights activist. Since then, Radcliffe has been a financial backer and public spokesperson for a West Hollywood based LGBT suicide prevention hotline named The Trevor Project.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)

Since the Potter films started, it was clear that Radcliffe had the talent and the drive to continue working post-Potter. Radcliffe already has two films in production for 2011, The Journey is the Destination and The Woman in Black.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

Even before the Potter films came about, Watson wanted to get into acting. She learned at the Stagecoach Theater Arts in her hometown of Oxford, this is the stage where Watson performed in a number of plays. Potter producers were made aware of Granger through her theater coach and after eight auditions, the confident young girl was cast as Hogwarts' brightest student, Hermione Granger.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Around this time Watson became heavily involved in high fashion modeling, another career path that she continues to explore.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix (2006)

Watson's school finals required the filming schedule to be shuffled around and after wrapping Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, Watson's future as Hermione was still in limbo. The contract binding Watson and her peers to the series had dissipated and it was doubtful that all the actors would return. Radcliffe and Grint seemed likely to return, but for Watson it simply posed a commitment that barred her from continuing her schooling. But fret not, for Watson obviously decided that she wasn't quite ready to give Hermione up just quite yet. During this grand debacle, Watson acted in the BBC film Ballet Shoes (2007) provided a voice for the American animated film The Tale of Despereaux (2008).

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Still a highly sought after model, Watson denied rumors that she was to become the new face of Chanel and took up work as a spokesman for Burberry. She also began working with the free trade fashion brand People Tree as a creative advisor.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)

Now that the Potter series has wrapped filming for good, Watson studies at Columbia University here in the US. She also has a bit part in the upcoming film My Week With Marilyn.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

Before Rupert Grint was casted as the world's favorite red-head, his only acting experience consisted of school plays and local theater productions. As a huge fan of the book series, Grint jumped at the chance to be a part of the films by recording himself rapping. How this works, I'm not sure and the video has yet to surface, but apparently it was enough to put him in the running. It wasn't long after that until Grint was officially given the role of Ron Weasley at age of 13. Note to young actors: Learn to rap.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

After wrapping the fourth Potter film, Grint played the lead role in the very well received Driving Lessons.

Grint buys an ice cream truck. Thus commences my crush on him.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (2009)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1 (2010)

Though it's not quite the end yet, Grint is already off to do other things. He already had two films released this year, Cherrybomb and Wild Target, along with playing British ski-star Eddie the Eagle in next year's Eddie the Eagle. I'm sure Grint has quite a long career ahead of him, even if he continues to refuse showing his entire face in a photograph.

If not, he's always got his ice cream truck.
