Harry Potter is a lifestyle choice that many have chosen for themselves, myself included. I have all the books (multiple copies) that I read every summer, I’ve seen all the movies, and I even have a tattoo dedicated to it. And because it’s such a huge part of my life, I find myself having some intrusive thoughts every day, all about the series. Now, I know I’m not alone in having these, or at least that others will get a chuckle out of them, so here are 15 thoughts that every Harry Potter fan has had before:
1. "This wouldn't happen to Harry Potter..."
But let’s face it… Whatever it is, it probably would happen to Harry Potter. The kid’s got the worst luck.
2. “I don’t feel like getting up. Do you think I can accio my phone over to myself?”
3. “Life would be so much easier if I could apparate.”
And so much cheaper than cars and planes.
4. “Oh my freaking god, this professor is worse than Umbridge.”
5. “How is it Harry defeated Voldemort when he was an infant and yet I’m in my 20’s and I can barely make spaghetti?”
6. “Y’know, GIFs are just like wizard photographs, so, really, we’re that much closer to living in the same world as Harry Potter.”
7. “Do you think if I went to Hogwarts I would actually do my homework?”
Probably not, but I like to dream.
8. “Why did Dumbledore send first years that got detention into the Forbidden Forest where they literally could have died? Why does he love chaos?”
9. “I wonder how many students the moving staircases injure per year.”
And the giant three-headed dog, and the giant squid in the Black Lake...Hogwarts was really such a dangerous school.
10. “Wait...did this person just say that their favorite movie was the third? Abort the conversation, ABORT!”
12. "Is it possible to havetoo much Harry Potter merchandise?”
I currently have 18 shirts, a pair of leggings, a jacket, three scarves, and a ton of jewelry, but I don’t have a problem.
12. “What should I do when I graduate--go backpacking through Europe or go to Wizarding World of Harry Potter?”
Is it sad that I’m leaning more toward Wizarding World?
13. “Do you ever just think about the tragic love and life of Lily and James Potter and start crying?”
14. “I’m sorry, did you just say you haven’t read the books?”
I’m not judging you (too much), but...why do you hate happiness?
15. “Why doesn’t everyone know every single thing that has ever happened in Harry Potter like I do?”
The world would just be a much better place.
