Thanksgiving As Told By 'Harry Potter' Gifs

Harry Potter/Courtesy of Warner Bros.

When your siblings ask if you’re going to finish everything on your plate

Every grandparent the second they see you at dinner

“Ah shit, I burnt the *insert any food*!”

All the kids when adults claim “age before beauty” and grab food first

Your little sibling when you “accidently” push them out of the way to get food

When you talk about that thing your cousin told you NOT to mention to their parents

“Oh I’m tearing up! You’re just so beautiful and growing up so fast...”

How the host of this year’s family thanksgiving feels when preparing for everyone to come

Me the moment I'm hounded with questions about college and "my future"

Every adult when you claim that nothing interesting is happening in your life

What mom is like if you disappear for just a second during dinner preparation

The answer to everything. All day long.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Eat much and eat often.

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

3148

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.
