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

Okay, everyone seems to be forgetting that eleven year olds ARE idiots. Even if they know the book is fiction, they still WANT it to be real- and if the outside world gives them a glimpse of hope that maybe it's more than fiction, they WILL believe it because they WANT it to be real. I waited for my Hogwarts letter when I was turning eleven. I didn't really think I'd get one, and when I didn't I wasn't crushed, but if I HAD gotten one I'd probably have shit myself. This mother obviously has never been obsessed with something like 11 year olds can be with this book series. That, or she's just a bitch. She should have known better than to have made the poor kid think she was going off to live in a magical world and then taken it away. That's horrible. Just take her to see the damn movie.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!?!?!?!?! Ugg I can't even begin to tell you how terrible that is. The poor little girl! An eleven year old really has no way of knowing that was fake because the excitement blinds them ;- )

FYL For all the people saying it was a cruel joke to play on a kid, it wasn't intended to be a joke! It was supposed to be a cute little gift. It isn't any different than giving kids gifts at Christmas time from Santa, or putting money under their pillow and claiming it was from the tooth fairy. Only difference is by 11 you expect a kid to be able to differentiate between real and fake. Sorry OP, nice try.

I agree, I thought it was really cute! When I was 11, I knew Harry Potter wasn't real, and I was a pretty gullable kid!

Same here. I knew Harry Potter wasn't real when I was 11yo, but I was hopeful anyway, and if my mum was as great as OP, I would've treasured that letter to bits.

Yeah! How sweet is the OP trying to make a personalized gift for her daughter? As if the child actually stomped on her foot. 11 years old is plenty old enough to know Harry Potter is not a biography of real events. Receiving the letter should have given her a momentary thrill and then a treasured keepsake from her parent. The child is pretty overemotional and ungrateful.

hahaha I did that too when I was 11... I didn't send it though I just kept it... now that I think of it it's kinda sad :D wow.. but yeah I think what the OP did was pretty stupid, I mean it might have been meant as a nice gesture, but what did she really think the kid would get out of it? what use could she possibly get out of a fake hogwarts letter written by her mum? a 11 year old propably won't appreciate it as a nice gesture, to them it just seems like a cruel joke. especially if she's a fanatic... something that's too good to be true happens and then you find out it actually was... sucks balls

@DoomJefff91 I'm epically confused, but DD never had a daughter. Unless we're referring to the OP, in which case... OP = woman. DD = man. woman =/= man, at least as far as anatomy goes. :P

I think he means since Dumbedore used to write and send out the acceptance letters, and since the OP took up the role of writing the letter to her daughter.. That's my take on it anyway.. - Edit...
