My best friend and I grew up making up dances and listening to Chris Brown. While we enjoy reading, we never got into the Harry Potter franchise. Now that we live together, it seems the Harry Potter references never stop, thanks to my boyfriend and our other roommate who are obsessed with Harry Potter.
I had our roommate Avery reference lines from Harry Potter so us muggles ("a person who lacks any sort of magical ability and was not born in a magical family"), myself (Morgan) and Kayla to define. Here are our responses compared to Avery and Devin's responses, which will obviously be the correct definition since they're the Harry Potter enthusiasts.
1. Patronus
Morgan: A potion for something. For what, I really don't know.
Kayla: The group of people living in the castle.
The REAL answer.
Avery: The source of your strength, animal or object that protects you.
Devin: A force is used to protect yourself from dementors. It's different for every person. It's sort of like a spirit animal.
2. Horcrux
Morgan: This sounds like a curse, or maybe a spell to exorcise people?
Kayla: A spell that turns a person into a crazy bird thing.
The REAL answer.
Avery: An item that a dark witch or wizard puts part of their soul into to become immortal.

Kayla: A magical soup.
The REAL answer.
Avery: Non-magic person.
Devin: A normal human, without any sort of wizarding magic.

Morgan: A special wine, drank at celebratory occasions.
Kayla: Blood that heals people.
The REAL answer.
Avery: A Muggle-born wizard or witch.
Devin: A wizard without magical parents. A serious insult.

Morgan: The word for "action"!
Kayla: I have no freaking clue what that is.
The REAL answer.
Avery: Summoning charm, make things come to you.
Devin: A summoning charm.
6. Dementors
Morgan: Some kind of demon. A demon for sure.
Kayla: The teachers at the school Harry Potter goes to.
The REAL answer.

8. Nimbus 2000

Kayla: A potion that cures people.
The REAL answer.

Devin: Very hard wizarding tests taken at the end of your time at school. Sort of like a final exam over everything you have learned.
Kayla said it best when she said: "Wow that was way harder than I thought." All you wizards obsessed with Harry Potter are crazy. Also, I think you are bilingual because I really don't understand what any of these words mean.
