That's pretty much my take on it too. Although I read and watch a lot of different things, there's very little that actually sparks me enough to want to write about it or to want more than just canon. I was actively involved in only 2 online fandoms prior to HP, meaning I wrote and read fanfiction, sought out fan art, participated on lists, and was generally "visible" in the fandom.
I've dabbled in other fandoms, but mostly in the form of drabbles written on request. The only thing that I've written anything longer than a ficlet for of my own volition was the new Battlestar Galactica, and that didn't last long. I wrote 2 ficlets, and that was all I was compelled to write, and then I stopped watching the show.
I've been a passive consumer in a handful of other fandoms: Highlander, Farscape, Angel: The Series, among others. But I was never sparked to write, and my interest in reading waned after a while.
I love Supernatural, House, and a few other fandoms that I've seen all over my flist, but I'm not sparked to read or write in them. Canon is enough. HP is the last thing that really, really sparked me to create and participate, and I'm content to remain here until something - if anything - sparks me anew. I need the spark, and if it happens, great; if not, that's fine too. I'm still interested and involved in HP, and while I'm apprehensive about what will happen in book 7, I'm not ready to preemptively bail.
