LFG and GM for Harry Potter RPG

So I've hankered for a Harry Potter tabletop game for a while, but I don't see many campaigns using it as a setting. Just checking here to see if anyone would be interested. I know of at least two systems specifically built for the franchise: Harry Potter and the Tabletop RPG and Harry Potter: The Roleplaying Game . I'm not married to either of these, however, and would be willing to take a look at any system or hack that could emulate Harry Potter. My ideal campaign would simulate the structure of the books. A short arc of a month to two months for each school year, with a looming threat across the seven years of Hogwarts -- and perhaps beyond. I don't care much about time period. I would offer to GM, but I'm unsure that I have the time to commit, and it would be my first time GMing something like this. If absolutely no one else wants to, I could see what I can do, but I would much prefer to participate as a player. I have two people tentatively interested already, and the upper limit would probably be 5 or so. If you're interested, just comment here or send me a message!
Hey, Nice to see another interest in Harry Potter! I'm guessing you are referring to us and our post about Harry Potter? I thought it would be appropriate for us to also write about our ideal adventure /(campaign). We would love something atmospheric, creative and fun that captures the books rich environment and characters. We are especially fond of Luna Lovegood. When it comes to style we prefer something mystery-driven, puzzle-like or problem-solving. We are not interested in a lot of combats (we are after all two "old" ladies ^^). To follow the corse of the book is something we are neutral towards. It's ok as long as it doesn't get to predictable because it follows the books so closely. Also if we are to play children (if we follow the book) it must probably be thought through to not get too easy and flat. The idea of being max 5 players sounds good to us. Too many players gets overcrowded in our opinion.  Looking forward to hear from you. /Anna & Jonna from Sweden.
Oh! How funny -- I didn't even see your post! Interest in a Harry Potter game is so rare, I never thought someone else was considering it. :) I'd be happy to have you two in the group, if our schedules work out. I'm CST (GMT-6) and still gathering players, so hopefully we could come up with a time that works for everybody. If you'd like to message me your skypes, I'll try to set up a group chat for everyone who's expressed interest so far. We can also talk about which system everyone would enjoy most. I agree that combat should probably be minimal, especially in the earlier 'years' of the campaign. I would like to start at the first year, because I'd love to see the party develop from the very start. I wouldn't hold anyone to accurately roleplaying an 11-year-old, of course.
Yeah really weird  since it was just a few moments between our posts... So you have two players already interested your end? I will set up a skype just for roleplaying tomorrow and talk to my friend.
Ps. Take a look at this Harry Potter rpg-system (12 pages): <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_QEws739Q9Ba01fZVhNd1Z5WW8/view?pli=1" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_QEws739Q9Ba01fZVhNd1Z5WW8/view?pli=1</a>
