THEY became fans of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series when they watched it on the big screen - unlike others who fell in love with her book.

But - just like their diehard book-loving counterparts - these fans have been donning the Hogwarts brand as the franchise comes to an end.

21-year-old Miss Alyssa Chloe Tan said dressing up as a Harry Potter character became a hobby, while Mr Reno Tan, 39, revealed that the first time he dressed as the wizard was to the local premiere of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix in 2007.
