1. You complain about the movies, but still went to see every single one.
Hermione’s hair wasn't frizzy enough, Harry’s eyes were the wrong color, and they used two different actors for Dumbledore and thought we wouldn’t notice. The movie producers seemed to always leave out the most important details, yet you could never bring yourself to miss the midnight premiere of each one.
2. You use Harry Potter references in everyday conversations.
Your friends, parents, and siblings are probably tired of hearing you use them too.
3. You have a Harry Potter playlist.
As much as you love the books, the movies have an undeniably amazing music score. You most likely have multiple, if not all of the songs from each movie saved on your iTunes. You also catch yourself humming the intro music way too often to be healthy.
4. You've read some poorly written fan fiction.
Once you’ve read all the books you become somewhat desperate, okay? You loved reading some of the off cannon character pairings, but it doesn’t mean you agree with them all.
5. Your favorite musical is undoubtedly A Very Potter Musical.
In addition to being one of the best Harry Potter parodies ever made, it has an amazing soundtrack and is totally awesome!
6. You spent way too much money at the Harry Potter theme park and on Harry Potter merchandise.
I may or may not have bought a Marauder’s Map that is hanging in my bedroom. And of course, you couldn’t miss out on buying cup after cup of Butterbeer! Some may say it’s all a big scam for money, but it’s important to us.
7. You've always wondered what your Patronus would be.
What animal would I be? And would I ever be able to cast a Patronus charm? Many hours are spent wondering what shape your Patronus would take.
8. You can't ever truly be best friends with someone who hasn't read the books.
There’s just something very dodgy about a person who doesn’t like Harry Potter. You become personally offended when you find out they haven't read the books. Plus, if they haven’t read the books how will they pick up on all of your references and understand your love for J.K. Rowling?
9. You know that Hogwarts is your home, and you'll love it until the very end.
The books have been a major comfort to you. And you couldn’t imagine ever having to part ways with the stories that taught you major life lessons.
